Ten-man Mumbai City FC failed to snap their winless run as they were held to a 1-1 draw by NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda on Tuesday.

Ahmed Jahouh helped Mumbai City FC take the lead from the spot in the 30’ but a relentless NorthEast United FC kept piling on the pressure and finally got their reward through substitute Mohamed Irshad who struck in the 79’ to ensure both sides shared points.

NEUFC were unlucky to not have scored more than once. They were the better team in the second by far. They kept attacking, hit the post twice. For Mumbai, things got worse as Amey Ranawade was shown a red card in stoppage time after he picked up his second yellow card.

The result means Mumbai City FC remained winless in their last six games, moving back to the top-four but only just with 18 points from 12 games, level on points with Chennaiyin FC. On the other hand, NorthEast United FC remained at 10th place in the table, having 10 points from 14 games.
