Moving on very cautiously, Goa kept a tight defence which was spread all over.


Mumbai City FC in an attempt to take the lead in the 2nd leg began to attack.


Odei Onaindia clears the ball on time.


There was an appeal made by MCFC’s players for a handball against the FC Goa’s defender but the replay however showed it only brushed against his chest.


Mumbai wasn't just stopping with the previous match’s aggregate score.


Chhangte moved ahead with the ball and chipped the ball past Dheeraj but the ball deflected hitting the goal post but Vikram Partap Singh didn't make it in time.


A huge relief for Goa.

Despite a goalless first half, Mumbai stepped up in the 2nd half, scoring 2 goals to reach the finals.

The aggregate score was MCFC 5 - 2 FCG.


Goa demonstrated resilience and determination in many aspects of the game, there are specific areas that require attention and collective effort to improve as Goa’s defence lacked effectiveness and the goalkeeping was catastrophic.
