Mumbai: Mumbai City FC registered their second consecutive win, outclassing Delhi Dynamos 4-0 in an Indian Super League match here on Friday.

It was Delhi’s sixth straight loss, keeping them at the bottom with three points while Mumbai jumped to the second spot with 13 points.

Skipper Lucian Goian put the hosts ahead in the 12th minute after scoring on the rebound from an Achille Emana penalty kick. Everton Santos made it 2-0.

Tempers flared as both teams lost a player each at the threshold of the break after hosts’ Sehnaj Singh and Delhi’s Uruguayan import Claudio Matias were red carded following a scuffle.

Delhi’s defence have cracked often in the tournament and were caught off guard time and again on Friday.

Delhi continued to fumble in defence especially on set-pieces.

Everton’s header off a Abhinash Ruidas corner in the 49th minute was slotted in by Thiago for the third goal.

Balwant again exposed the visitors’ scratchy display at the back in the 79th when he scored from Emana’s aerial ball.

Pune eye home win against NorthEast
FC Pune City, sans suspended coach Ranko Popovic, will look to replicate their away form at home when they take on NorthEast United on Saturday.

Pune entered the top four of the standings with their away wins against FC Goa, Jamshedpur FC and defending champions ATK this season.

The only time they won at home was against Mumbai City in Balewadi. Otherwise, their form has been patchy as they have lost three of their four matches so far at home.

On Saturday, FC Pune City under assistant coach Vladica Grujic will look to change that statistic at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium.
