Bambolim (Goa), Feb 24 (Ians) Mumbai City rode out to a dominant 6-1 win over Odisha Fc in the Indian Super League on Wednesday at the Gmc Stadium. The big margin of victory helped second-placed Mumbai match top-ranked Atk Mohun Bagan's goal difference while being three points behind them.
It means that a win against Bagan in their next match, which is also both side's final game of the league season, would mean the league winners' shield would go to Mumbai City.
After Odisha had taken a shock early lead on Wednesday through Diego Mauricio (9th minute), Mumbai hit back hard through goals from Bartholomew Ogbeche, Bipin Singh and Cy Goddard (44th mins). The match was the highest-scoring game of the season and Mumbai had the biggest-winning margin yet. The timely return to form ended a three-game winless run for Sergio Lobera's side.
