That's what happened on the 58th minute.

Mailson Alves clipped Mumbai City FC forward Balwant SIngh outside the box, but the referee while rightly adjudging it a foul, wrongly awarded a penalty.

It proved to be a decisive moment in the match as Mumbai City had failed to create any good chances until then. Achille Emana stepped up for the home side and coolly slotted it away to give his side the win as it turned out to be the only goal of the game.

Perhaps its time to introduce video technology in the ISL?
