Mohun Bagan vs Mumbai City FC ISL 2023-24 Highlights: Mohun Bagan win the ISL shield with record breaking points

Mohun Bagan Super Giant have defeated Mumbai City FC by 2-1 in the final game of the ISL 2023-24 league and clinched the ISL Shield for the first time in their history on Monday. Mumbai City FC, who had the advantage before coming to Kolkata, needed only one point to secure the shield. However, for the Mariners, they needed a win to be at the top of the points table. 

Liston Colaco, who was the only change brought in by Antonio Lopez Habas from the last game, drew the first blood for the home team in Kolkata. In the 28th minute of the game, Liston scored a stunner after receiving a great pass from none other than Dimitri Petratos. Lalianzuala Chhangte missed an easy chance right before half-time to keep the scoreboard at 1-0 at the half-time. 

Post-half-time, Mumbai City FC looked more threatening but could not get past the defence line of Habas. However, his substitutions were on point as they kept the shape and scoreline intact. Jason Cummings came in in the 62nd minute and scored a beautiful goal after receiving an on-point pass from Dimitri Petratos in the 80th minute. 

However, there was more left in the match as Chhangte found the net in the 89th minute and Brandon Hamill received his second yellow card as Mohun Bagan went down to 10 men in the dying minutes. Finally, the goals from Cummings and Liston proved to be good enough for them as Mohun Bagan broke the record for the most points earned in an ISL season and clinched the ISL shield for the first time in their history. Mohun Bagan will now play in the Group stage of Asian Champions League 2.
