These two teams are meeting for the first time in the tournament in pool stage.
Despite playing with a numerical advantage for nearly an hour after Mohammed Irshad’s red card in the 35th minute, the Islanders struggled to break through until Vikram Partap Singh’s 49th-minute strike sealed the hard-fought win.
The win extended the Islanders’ dominance in Kolkata, where they’ve now triumphed in seven of their last ten matches, drawing twice.
In contrast, Mohammedan SC’s home woes continued, with the team yet to register a win in six matches this season.
The 1-0 win saw Mumbai City FC climb to seventh spot in the ISL 2024-25 table whereas Mohammedan SC remain rooted to the bottom.
