Goa: <\/strong>Sporting Clube de Goa are staying grounded despite scoring a fascinating win over Mohun Bagan in their last clash at the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda. The next opponents at home are Mumbai FC, in the 16th round I-League match on Monday, but technical director Alex Alvares has called for a cool headed approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur victory against Mohun Bagan was exceptional team work. Everyone contributed to the team\u2019s cause but we have to look ahead now. The only thing we can take forward from the last victory is the confidence. There is plenty of work ahead,\u201d said Alvares.<\/p>\n

Sporting Clube are placed eighth on the table with 20 points but with little to choose between them and the rest battling to save the drop, Alvares knows that picking points, especially from teams who are fighting to save relegation, is absolutely crucial.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot allow Mumbai FC to return with even a point. We must grab all points on offer,\u201d said the technical director.<\/p>\n

Sporting have been erratic in the I-League, grabbing five wins, five losses and as many draws. While they have some fascinating victories against the likes of Salgaocar, Shillong Lajong and Mohun Bagan, losses against Air India and Mumbai FC have pegged them back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to bring consistency in our game. We have to keep on winning,\u201d insisted Alvares, who is expected to field the same squad which means South Korean striker Jae Hyun Park will start alongside South Sudan\u2019s James Moga.<\/p>\n

Mumbai FC won the first phase clash against Sporting Clube by a solitary goal in Pune, but coach Khalid Jamil will be under no illusion of a similar result in Sporting\u2019s backyard. The visitors will need to be at their best to take something out of the game.<\/p>\n

Points will be crucial for Mumbai FC as they have only 14 points in their kitty and another slip-up at Fatorda would mean they would have been left to battle with Chirag United Kerala to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n
