ISL 2015: Mumbai City 2-0 FC Goa - 5 Talking Points
Mumbai City FC beat FC Goa 2-0 as the blue citizens registered their second successive win at the DY Patil Stadium. Sunil Chhetri gave his side the lead by coolly slotting in a penalty in the first half before French striker Frédéric Piquionne doubled the lead in the opening minutes of the second half.It was a game in which Mumbai City manager Nicolas Anelka also came on in the second half as Mumbai City moved up the table to three points behind FC Goa. We look at 5 talking points from the game.
#1 Sunil Chhetri and Sony Norde partnership pivotal for Mumbai
The Indian and Haitian look like they have got their chemistry right and look to pass to each other pretty often. As the tournament has progressed, Norde has shown his versatility and turns into a supplier too on several occasions. The reason why their partnership thrives is because Chhetri finds himself in good positions between the defensive lines.
His clever positioning makes Norde’s job of finding him that much easier and their one-twos are a delight to watch. Against FC Goa, the Indian skipper had numerous chances to add to his tally but was denied by the goalkeeper Kattimani.
As clichéd as it might sound, goals win you matches and in Chhetri and Norde lies the best attacking threat for the Mumbai City side.
