In a dramatic Indian Super League opener, Mohun Bagan squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Mumbai City FC.

Both teams missed key chances in a match marked by resilient comebacks.

In the opening match of the Indian Super League, Mohun Bagan's defensive issues resurfaced as they settled for a 2-2 draw against Mumbai City FC. Mumbai's Tiri scored an own goal in the ninth minute, giving Mohun Bagan an early lead, which was extended by Alberto Rodriguez.

However, Mumbai City's Thaer Krouma equalized in the 90th minute, capitalizing on a late shift in momentum. Despite Bagan's late penalty claim and captain Subhasish Bose receiving a yellow card, Mumbai City secured a crucial away point.

Without the presence of regulars such as Rahul Bheke and Alberto Noguera, Mumbai City fielded a 4-3-3 formation, while Mohun Bagan used a 3-5-2 setup. Both teams created several opportunities, but ultimately, the match ended in an exciting stalemate.
