MBG vs MUM Match Preview
As if it was written in the stars, Mohun Bagan Super Giant take on Mumbai City FC again on a big stage in the ISL final. After snatching the League Shield from the Islanders in the Salt Lake Stadium this season, the Mariners will aim to defend their ISL trophy on the same ground to do the double as the opposition did over them in the 2020/21 season. For head coach Antonio Lopez Habas, the chance to win his third ISL honour and the first with the Kolkata giants in his second ISL final with them. Mohun Bagan required another big night at Salt Lake to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit against Odisha in the semi-final with Jason Cummings equalising the tie and then substitute Sahal Samad scoring the winner in stoppage time to qualify for consecutive finals. With energy, motivation and home advantage in the final, the Green and Maroons are willing to clinch the silverware with a third win in this fixture in another electrifying atmosphere.
The ISL trophy holds more significance for Mumbai City FC as they could end the season with silverware to round off an excellent season. Failing to keep hold of the Shield in the final league game of the season, their first ISL loss against Mohun Bagan, the Islanders have a perfect chance to seek revenge in a repeat of the scenario. Petr Krakty’s side was flamboyant in the semi-final against FC Goa, making an immense comeback in the first leg and then seeing off the opponent perfectly in the second. Jorge Diaz and Lalianzuala Chhangte scored for the 2-0 win, 5-2 on aggregate, in a joyous Mumbai Football Arena to take their team to a second ISL final and get a second title in their name. Having also made a stunning comeback against the Mariners in the 2021 showpiece with Bipin Singh scoring the winner, Mumbai City thinks they have the strength to silence the home support albeit losing the last two meetings at Salt Lake.
