Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Bengaluru FC’s perfect start to the Indian Super League season ended at the Mumbai Football Arena, following a 0-0 draw against Mumbai City FC on Wednesday. The draw kept the Blues at the top of the League with 10 points from four games, one above Punjab FC, who they meet in their next fixture at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, in Bengaluru, on October 18th.

Stand-in head coach Renedy Singh rolled out an unchanged Bengaluru eleven from the side that took on Mohun Bagan Super Giant on Saturday, with Sunil Chhetri and Mendez leading the line in what was a 4-4-2. The Islanders, meanwhile, made four changes to the side that took on Jamshedpur FC as Vikram Partap Singh, B Fernandes, J Manzorro and Nathan Rodrigues returned.

Mumbai started the stronger of the two sides, with Gurpreet Singh Sandhu called into action to collect crosses from Brandon Fernandes and Vikram Partap Singh in the early exchanges. Gurpreet was forced into making the first save of the game, pushing Nikos Karelis’ header away to keep it goalless. Bengaluru's persistence would create their first effort of the game, with Mendez played through by Noguera only for the Spanish striker to see his effort saved by Phurba Lachenpa.
