NorthEast United FC registered a 2-1 victory against table-toppers Mumbai City FC at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on Saturday. With this victory the team entered the top four in the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL). After this victory, Mumbai City head coach Sergio Lobera said his side did not react well after conceding a second goal against NorthEast United FC which led to the defeat.
After the match, Lobera said,""I feel they played very well and deserved the victory. When the opponent team is better than you, all we can do is congratulate them. And I as a coach, need to try and improve my team. It is important to learn from this, so it does not happen again." He further added, ""It is very important for us to start well in games. When we score the first goal, it is very difficult for the opponent to play in the same way. We lost our concentration and conceded two goals in three minutes. It was difficult for us and our reaction was not good because there were a lot of spaces between lines and it is not easy to play that way. We need to think about this, learn and improve."
Talking about the game, Brown netted the first goal of the match in the sixth minute, followed by a strike in the 10th minute. Mumbai's only goal came in the 85th minute of the match.
