After losing their last match against Odisha FC, the Mumbaikars are set to face FC Goa in their next ISL match, which is scheduled to take place at the Mumbai Football Arena. Mumbai City FC are just one spot below Goa and if they win this match they will surpass ATK and Goa on the points table. However, their upcoming match is not going to be easy as their head coach Jorge Costa has revealed that his players have to shine in the first-half if they want to win the match.
Talking to the media at the pre-match press conference, Mumbai City FC’s head coach revealed that he watched the game played between Mumbai City FC and Odisha FC several times. He said that he came to the conclusion that with a little bit of work, his team can get a better result in the upcoming game. He revealed that to win the match a team has to shine in the first 45-minutes, but, in the previous match his team failed to do anything extraordinary before the half time. “We cannot repeat the same mistakes we made against Odisha,” said Jorge Costa.
