A first-half penalty by striker Josimar Martins in the 35th minute proved to be the difference between the two sides.<\/p>\n
With this loss Mumbai FC dropped to tenth place with 7 points while the hosts rise up to seventh place with 10 points.<\/p>\n
Coach Khalid Jamil made two changes to the team bringing in Manuel D\u2019Souza and Haroon Amiri in place of Subhas Chakraborty and the suspended Ashutosh Mehta.\n<\/p>\n
It was Mumbai FC who almost took the lead in the second minute. Mohammedan midfielder Sandeep Sangha almost scored an own goal while trying to clear Nicholas Rodrigues’ freekick ; however an alert Ashok Singh tipped over.<\/p>\n
The game then lost it\u2019s pace as both sides failed to create a close chance. The hosts went close on a couple of occasions but Mumbai FC custodian Nidhin Lal kept them at bay.<\/p>\n
The hosts were awarded a penalty five minutes past the half-hour mark, when defender Ritesh Perambra handled inside the box. Josimar converted from the spot to give Mohammedan the lead going into the break.<\/p>\n
Mumbai FC almost equalised two minutes after the break. Striker Sandjar Ahmadi\u2019s shot agonisingly the crossbar from close range.<\/p>\n
