90+6' - Amrinder palms the ball on the other side instead of catching it and Robin Singh latches on to the loose ball but skies it. That could have been devastating for Mumbai City FC.

50' - Hyderabad FC have ramped up pressure on Mumbai in the second half but are yet to find a shot on target. That is their problem at the moment, they just cannot find the target.

Mumbai City FC 1-0 Hyderabad FC

The second half of Mumbai City FC vs Hyderabad FC gets underway with the home team leading 1-0. Mumbai had seven shots on target in the first half but only a goal to show, can they add to the tally in the second half or will Hyderabad pull off an upset?

Here are a few statistics at half time from Mumbai City FC vs Hyderabad FC, where the home team leads 1-0.

HALF TIME! Modou Sougou's sixth-minute strike is the difference between Mumbai City FC and Hyderabad FC after 45 minutes of play at the Mumbai Football Arena. While Hyderabad's Bobo did have a couple of header chances to equalise, Mumbai created much clearer chances and actually could have been leading by a bigger margin. Asish Rai made two on-the-line clearances to keep Hyderabad in the game. Diego Carlos and Serge Kevyn also had a couple of chances to increase Mumbai's lead. Mumbai look on the way to get their first win at home, can Hyderabad pull off an upset here?

As it stands, the Islanders are on course to register their 1⃣st home win of the season 💪#MCFCHFC #HeroISL #LetsFootball pic.twitter.com/hDA9dYH0na

42' - An absolute melee in front of the Hyderabad goal. Asish Rai makes two off-the-line saves to deny Mumbai. It was Grgic who got the first head and then Sougou's attempt was also thwarted. Incredible stuff there.

19' - Diego Carlos does well to get a free kick and Larbi delivers the free kick behind outside the box towards a completely unmarked Diego Carlos but the Mumbai players strikes it wide. He is frustrated with himself for missing that, terrible defending from Hyderabad.

21' - Amrinder does well to punch the ball out as the cross comes towards his goal for Bobo and as Kevyn runs forward, Gurtej brings him down and Sougou had the chance to run up with the ball but the referee decides to stop the play for the foul.

14' - CHANCE! Great ball from Asish from the right flank into the centre for Bobo, who rises high but cannot direct his header towards the goal. It was a good chance for Hyderabad to equalise and Bobo is coming off scoring two headers in their previous game.

12' - It's an open game right now. Even though Mumbai have got the goal, Marcelinho and Bobo have shown their fraility at the back and are looking for the equaliser.

6' - GOAL! Modou Sougou scores his first goal of the season and it has taken him 10 games! Mumbai City FC are leading at home early on! A fabulous team goal that! Subhasish Bose puts in a good ball on the left flank for Diego Carlos, who gets in behind the defenders to collect the ball and run up the pitch. He cuts is and Gurtej just loses the ball as Carlos passes it in the centre to Sougou, who had made a run from all the way back. Sougou calmly slots it home with all defenders between the left and centre of the goal. Last season's top scorer for Mumbai has found his first.

1' - CHANCE for Mumbai! Diego Carlos with some good work on the left and goes for a swerving shot at goal but it was a little too close to Kamaljit, who got a strong palm to it.

2' - Bobo receives an excellent ball in the box and from the left, he takes a shot that Mumbai get a foot too and the ball goes out. This should have been a corner but the referee did not award it. Bobo is livid with the decision.
