ISL 2015: FC Pune City 3-1 Mumbai City

Thank you for joining us this evening in what was the 1st installment of the Maha derby this season.

Pune have clearly done a good job building their team for this season while Mumbai need to go back and look at what they did wrong.

And that's that! FC Pune City outplay Mumbai City FC to win 3-1 in their 1st match of the ISL.

Both Mumbai City and Pune City have a Bollywood connection!

Nothing comes off it and now, even Israil Gurung has gone down injured.

4 minutes of added time and Anelka wins Mumbai a corner.

Pune make another change as Lenny comes off to be replaced by Sushanth Matthew

Piquionne gets another chance from a good cross, but the header goes wide. That was a good opportunity for Mumbai to reduce the deficit.

Gabriel Fernandes has gone off and has been replaced by Subhash Singh for Mumbai City

Unfortunate for Ashutosh though as he gets booked for what looked like a perfect tackle.

From the corner, Pune break and Lenny finds Mutu but Mehta thwarts him very well.

Sony Norde gets a good chance, tries to trick and tease Manish Maithani, but his cross is deflected out for a corner.

Piquionne turns and gets off a shot, but goes over the goal.

About 10 minutes to go, Pune lead Mumbai by 2 goals

Aguilera is off and is replaced by Nicolas Anelka, Mumbai City's marquee player-cum-manager

Another good attempt for Pune but Bertin blocks Ruiz's effort.

Anelka warming up to come on for Mumbai.

Mumbai trying to do their best to come back into the game, Norde tries another shot, but goes off-target.

The Maha derby properly tilted in the home team's favour, FC Pune City 3-1 Mumbai City FC, 70 minutes gone

And Pune lead again! Israil Gurung's deflected effort leaves Gomes with no chance!

Mumbai bring on Salim Benachour for Andre Moritz

And that's that for the Turk as he is replaced by marquee player Adrian Mutu!

57 minutes gone, FC Pune City 2-1 Mumbai City FC

Just as Mumbai were threatening to score again, Pune take the lead through that man Tuncay again! Another header from another Gurung cross.

Mumbai go close through Brazilian Andre Moritz, whose curler from outside the box goes just over.

Both teams are looking good on the ball and look poised to try and score the 2nd goal.

Pune have started the 2nd half pressing Mumbai high up the pitch. The home team seem to be reinvigorated by the half-time team talk given by coach Platt.

Didier Zokora has been booked for a foul on Andre Moritz.

Could Pune have done better with their Indian players like Eugeneson Lyngdoh and Jackichand Singh available?

And the 2nd half has kicked off! Pune have replaced Bailey with Ruiz

Are Mumbai City missing Nicolas Anelka? What about the players who are on national team duty like Sunil Chhetri and Subrata Pal?

Tuncay Sanli and Frederic Piquionne scored for Pune and Mumbai respectively.

Half-time at the Balewadi: FC Pune City 1-1 Mumbai City FC

Another shot taken by Norde after Mehta's cross reaches him, but it goes way over the bar.

Ashutosh Mehta and Gabriel have been very good on the wings for Mumbai, testing their markers and putting in good crosses.

2 minutes of injury time to be added at the end of the 1st half.

Interesting analogy from the Mumbai team Twitter handle there!

This is Piquionne's goal for Mumbai City

Mumbai piling on the pressure now, Aguilera's shot blocked by Simonsen. The away side looking dangerous now.

Both teams have been quite reliant on crossing from the flanks, with Gurung and Maithani for Pune and Mehta for Mumbai featuring very prominently.

Mehta's cross was headed in nicely by Piquionne, who has played for West Ham and Portsmouth in the Premier League.

34 minutes, FC Pune City 1-1 Mumbai City FC
