    ISL 2023-24: Vikram Pratap Singh's Brace Helps Mumbai City FC Gain Three Points

    By IANS News February 19, 2024 • 00:14 AM View: 701
    Vikram Pratap Singh: Mumbai City FC rode on a brace by Vikram Partap Singh to beat Bengaluru FC by 2-0 and secure a league double over the Blues in their Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 fixture at the Mumbai Football Arena (MFA) here on Sunday night.

    Overcoming a run of indifferent form earlier, the Islanders are now level on points with FC Goa (28) and are placed fourth in the standings because of having played an extra game (14) than the Gaurs (13). Valpuia and Yoell van Nieff were roped into the playing XI by Petr Kratky for this fixture, with the former playing an advanced role on the right flank.

    The Blues dominated possession (56%) and took more shots (14) than the Islanders (7), but their frontline failed to trouble home team goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa barring a couple of formidable efforts by Suresh Singh Wangjam and Nikhil Poojary. Wangjam was touchingly close to netting the third goal of his ISL career as his left-footed effort deflected off the crossbar in the 12th minute. Soon afterwards, Poojary interlinked with Harsh Patre to take a shot that was saved by a composed Lachenpa who held his line despite the Blues taking the attack to him.
