ISL 2023-24: Bheke, Chhangte, and Mumbai City Defeat FC Goa

Mumbai City FC Secures Spot in ISL Final with Dominant Win Over FC Goa

In a thrilling second leg of the ISL semifinal, Mumbai City FC secured their spot in the final with a dominant 2-3 victory over FC Goa. The match was a showcase of Mumbai’s in-your-face approach, led by skipper Rahul Bheke, who shut down Goa’s best player in attack, Noah Sadaoui.

From the start, Mumbai City showed no mercy, suffocating any hopes of a Goan comeback. With over 6000 supporters cheering them on at the Andheri Sports Complex, the home team left no room for error, cramping Goa for space all over the pitch.

Bheke’s defensive prowess was on full display as he neutralized Sadaoui’s every move, keeping him at bay and limiting Goa’s chances on goal. And when Bheke wasn’t shutting down Goa’s attack, he was making an impact on the other end, heading in a crucial goal from a corner kick.

Meanwhile, Lallianzuala Chhangte’s dynamism and Mumbai’s counter-attacking threat kept Goa at arm’s length, with Chhangte scoring a crucial goal in the 83rd minute to seal the deal for Mumbai City.

With the win, Mumbai City FC sets up a highly anticipated final showdown against Mohun Bagan, setting the stage for an epic battle for the ISL title. As the final whistle blew, Manolo Marquez could only watch on helplessly, as Mumbai City’s dominance on the pitch proved too much for FC Goa to handle.
