One sensed this was coming. Slowly but steadily Mumbai were finding their footing while Jamshedpur continued to commit numbers in attack. Their usually conservative full backs, Souvik Chakrabarti and Shouvik Ghosh attempted to flood the midfield.

However, Mumbai showed why they are one of the most mature sides in the ISL. Despite Jamshedpur's dominant opening minutes, the visitors did not panic one but. Just when the home side looked like scoring, Thiago Santos silenced them with a stunning solo effort to give Mumbai a crucial lead.

The Brazilian found himself surrounded by an army of defenders just outside the box. Before the opposition could come to terms with the situation, he sneakily dribbled past a couple of Jamshedpur players and splendidly caressed his shot into the top right corner.
