9′ Meanwhile, NorthEast not doing much with the free-kick and the following flag-kick
7′ Yellow card Diego Carlos Oliveira
7′ First yellow coming out. Carlos goes in the book for a foul on Reagan after a vise versa foul was not given. Not really worthy of a yellow, if you ask me. Just a shoulder push
5′ Mumbai still looking to build up play on the offensive and Rowllin put a bit too much on that lob for Rafique
3′ Rafique takes a tumble while trying to ward off Lundevall
1′ NorthEast look to go on the offensive right away and Amrinder looks like he’s gotten away with that pass to his team-mate that got on to Ninthoi who but failed to control the ball
1′ Kick-off at the Mumbai Football Arena!
The players are out and we’re ready for kick-off
Quite a few changes effected by NorthEast gaffer Robert Jarni. No Kai Heerings and Rakesh Pradhan is on the bench, Wayne Vaz and Provat Lakra among the backline. Federico Gallego in for Martin Chaves, Jose Leudo in the 11 too as Nikhil Kadam makes way
Three changes in the hosts’ first 11 for tonight. Most notably, Modou Sougou back in the side after the 1-1 draw against Hyderabad. Sarthak Golui and suspended Pratik Chowdhary sit out while Serge Kevyn is on the bench. Mohammed Rafique and Valpuia make their way in the 11
NorthEast subs: Pawan (GK), Dorjee, Pradhan, Kadam, Tlang, Nongrum, Chaves
It’s quite the attacking line-up named by Jorge Costa if you look at Mumbai’s bench that has NO defenders. Big responsibility on the back-line tonight
Mumbai subs: Ravi (GK), Bidyananda, Bipin, Pranjal, Raynier, Kevyn, Surchandra
NorthEast United XI: Subhasish (GK); Reagan, Komorski, Lakra, Wayne; Lalengmawia, Leudo; Ninthoi, Lundevall, Gallego; Keogh
Mumbai City XI: Amrinder (GK); Valpuia, Grgic, Bose; Rafique, Das, Borges, Larbi, Carlos; Chermiti, Sougou
