Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Complex: Two well-executed goals from set-piece movements paved the way for PFC Navbahor Namangan’s 2-1 victory over hosts Mumbai City FC in their concluding Group D AFC Champions League 2023-24 match at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Complex on Monday.

While the win confirmed the Uzbek side’s entry to the round of 16 for the first time, Mumbai City FC finished their campaign without a point, though they managed to score their first group league goal in this outing.

In all fairness, with a little more luck and precision, it could have been Mumbai City’s night in the floodlit stadium. They not only surprised their mighty opponents by scoring first but also created enough opportunities in the second session to come close to scoring on more than one occasion.
