ISL: FC Pune City 2-0 Mumbai City FC - 5 Talking Points
The away blues continued for Mumbai City FC as they were beaten 2-0 by local rivals FC Pune City in the second edition of the ‘Maharashtra Derby’ of the Hero Indian Super League.Both teams were desperate for the three points to keep their chances of qualification for the semi-finals alive and it was Pune who put in a relentless attacking performance from the opening whistle to overwhelm their opponents for a comfortable victory.Dudu Omagbemi grabbed the goals, but there were other talking points too in this wildly entertaining game.
#1 Pune somehow went into half-time 0-0
How on earth Pune managed to not score in a first half (and eventually a match) that they dominated was beyond belief.
They peppered the Mumbai goal with attack after attack and had so many great opportunities to find the back of the net with Dudu, Kostas Katsouranis and Park Il Kwang all guilty of being wasteful in front of goal. Mumbai were being outplayed all over the pitch with Pune running them ragged.
And yet they had nothing to show for it going into the break.
