ISL 2025: Mumbai City FC Qualify For Playoffs With 2-0 Win Over Bengaluru FC
Both Mumbai City FC: Lallianzuala Chhangte and Nikolaos Karelis scored a goal each as Mumbai City FC qualified for the playoffs of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 with a 2-0 win against Bengaluru FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Tuesday night. The Islanders thus finished the league season at the sixth spot with 36 points, whereas the Gerard Zaragoza-coached side ended its league campaign with 38 points.
The Islanders were blazing across the Bengaluru FC backline from the onset. Their entire attacking unit came to the fore and functioned in coordination, with Jorge Ortiz receiving a pass from Lallianzuala Chhangte inside the 18-yard box and rattling the crossbar with a left-footed shot.
The visitors threw bodies forward, with Nikolaos Karelis heading just past the post from the six-yard box. However, Karelis finally struck home with a slick pass for Chhangte in the penalty area, which the captain slotted from very close range into the middle of the net to open the scoring in the eighth minute with his right foot.
