Durand Cup: Mumbai City FC begin campaign with win over Indian Navy

KOLKATA: A scintillating second-half display helped Mumbai City FC begin their Durand Cup 2022 campaign with a win as they beat Armed Forces side Indian Navy 4-1 in their opening fixture of Group B at the Salt Lake Stadium, here on Thursday.

Indian Navy's Adersh (43') opened the scoring of the game before Vikram Partap Singh's goal (45+3') at the cusp of the half-time cancelled out their lead. A Greg Stewart penalty (65') followed by two quick-fire goals from super sub-Lallianzuala Chhangte (89', 90+1') sealed the deal for the Des Buckingham-led side.

Mumbai City FC take on rivals ATK Mohun Bagan on Wednesday while Indian Navy FT will be up against East Bengal two days earlier. IANS
