Mumbai City FC defeated Churchill Brothers 2-1 in their Group D fixture in the Hero Super Cup 2023 on Tuesday at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, Kerala. Mehtab Singh and Lallianzuala Chhangte scored for the Islanders, as Kromah got the only goal for the I-League side.
As it happened:
The young Islanders persevered and eked out a win as Lallianzuala Chhangte got the all-important goal at the very end of the match, as he converted the penalty won by his teammate Vikram Partap Singh. Kromah's first half goal, which gave Churchill Brothers the lead, was cancelled out by Mehtab Singh's header. In the second half, both teams tried hard to get the lead, but finishing wasn't on their sides.

Last few moments for the players to take out an injury-time winner.
While Mumbai are having more of the ball, they aren't really threatening Nora's goal much. Churchill Brothers seem to be happy with a single point as they are defending quite deep at the moment.
Bipin has done whatever he could as he makes way for young Ayush Chikara.
Every few minutes, one of the teams is getting a good chance to take the lead but the finishing is severely lacking.
Nasty challenge on Apuia as he clutches his foot in pain.
