ISL 2023-24: Mumbai City Inch Closer To League Crown With 2-1 Win Against Odisha FC

Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Jorge Pereyra Diaz and Lallianzuala Chhangte scored a goal each as Mumbai City FC defeated Odisha FC 2-1 and sent the Juggernauts and FC Goa out of the race for League Winners in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 at the Mumbai Football Arena (MFA) on Monday night.

With 47 points in 21 games, the Islanders are a step closer to defending their title this season and can only be beaten to that by the second-placed Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG), who have accumulated 42 points from 20 matches so far. Meanwhile, Odisha FC are stuck at 39 points from 21 encounters and will be aiming for a top-two finish that can guarantee them a semi-final place when they take on NorthEast United FC on April 13 for their final league game of the campaign.

For the Islanders, the entire equation boils down to their last league match, which is incidentally against the Mariners on April 15. Additionally, FC Goa (39 points) too have bowed out of the competition to finish at the top of the standings as a consequence of this win by the Islanders. Mumbai City FC could become the ISL League Winners even before the aforementioned game provided that the Mohun Bagan Super Giant drop points in their coming clash against Bengaluru FC on April 11, which will make the Islanders’ current tally of 47 unreachable for the Antonio Lopez Habas-coached side.
