Scoring early was the key - Brilliant Bengaluru withstand Mumbai City's pressure en route to a vital win

Mumbai City were the clear favourites going into Monday's Indian Super League (ISL) fixture against a struggling Bengaluru.

The Blues had lost their last four matches against the Islanders. Lobera's team is the highest scorers and has the second-best defence in the league so beating them was a monumental task. But the Blues managed to do it and pick up a vital victory in their quest for a spot in the playoffs.

Bengaluru struck early in the game and that was the key to unsettling a Mumbai City team who usually take time to settle into their rhythm and exert their dominance over the opponents in games.
