JRD Tata Sports Complex: Mumbai City’s ISL Cup defence has gotten off to a poor start with the side losing 2-3 against Jamshedpur FC in the second game of the season at the JRD Tata Sports Complex on Saturday. Petr Kratky’s men drew 2-2 against Mohun Bagan Super Giants in the opening game.

A brace by Javi Hernandez and a goal by Jordan Murray to hold on to a slender one-goal advantage and take the win despite goals by Nikos Karelis and Yoel Van Nieff.

The Islanders were the dominant side throughout the game which saw them retain 67.6 % possession of the ball. They also made more than twice the number of passes than their opponents with 446 compared to Jamshedpur’s 211.
