Indian Arrows did well to defend an attacking Mumbai City FC

The young lads from the Indian Arrows were up against a formidable Mumbai City FC attacking side and the coach Luis Norton de Matos adopted the 'park the bus' strategy to deal with them.

The Arrows defended in large numbers as they only had two players on the wing to release on the counter and the rest helped out in defense. The defenders Anwar Ali, Jitendra Singh and Deepak Tangri held the lines at the back and organized the defense, not allowing Mumbai much space inside the box. Mumbai City FC kept knocking on the doors with persistent attacks but struggled to find any way past the disciplined defense of the Arrows.
