Mad game last night. Mumbai living up to the spirit of this city. Love watching both Mumbai and Mohun Bagan play football but Goa or Odisha winning the ISL trophy for the first time would be a great story for neutrals.

Mumbai City score 3 goals in 5 minutes to take a 1 goal lead to the second leg in Mumbai from Goa. What's more? Indians across both the teams step up and shine. Total entertainment with a nice Goa crowd. One of those days in ISL.#IndianFootball

Kratky time ✅#MCFC #ISL #FCGMCFC
But guess what, he did exactly same,developed and showed faith in Indian talents, and they delivered when it mattered most. As an Indian football fan,we need more coaches like him (2/2).
