#5 Hit - Modou Sougou:

Modou Sougou scored the only goal which secured all three points for the away side. The Senegalese international received the ball from Rafael Bastos who won it back from Anirudh Thapa to find the back of the net.

The first shot was parried away by Karanjit Singh, but the following rebound provided the Chennaiyin shot-stopper with nil chance. He did not have much to do during the game as Mumbai City were defensively minded and the striker had to track back to shield the defense for most parts of the game.

The striker was though one-v-one, but the flag was raised for offside in the 82nd minute. That turned out to be the wrong decision from the linesman. The whole camp of Mumbai City FC was raging with the match official at that point of time.

Netting his third goal of the campaign in six games, Modou Sougou has already become a fan favourite among the Mumbai City FC faithful.
