The home side had a solid defensive start and Mumbai City fail🃏ed to breach the resolu🎃te defence of goalkeeper Amrinder Singh in the first half.

But the Mizoram midfielder began the goal-spree when he opened the scoring in theꦆ 55th combining well with Jorge Diaz. 

Diego Mauricio equa𓆉lised six minutes later, but Mumbai returned stronger to s🦂core through Bipin Singh (68th).

Chhangte set up substitute Alberto Noguera (86th) to 👍make it 3-1 before he virtually killed th𒁃e contest, completing his brace in the 79th minute.

Out of nowhere, Mauricio ಌgot into the act in the 90th minute and brought up his double but it was merely a consolation for the home side who suffered their fifඣth defeat from 12 matches to remain on 19 points.
