    HALF TIME

    Both sides have been quite wasteful with just one shot on target under their respective belts. It was Kromah who gave Churchill Brothers an early lead after Phurba Lachenpa failed to clear his lines convincingly. Mumbai City took their sweet time to create chances as Mehtab Singh ultimately gave the Islanders the equaliser through a well-taken header, as goalie Nora couldn't keep it out, despite getting his gloves to it.

    Right at the end of the first 45 minutes, both camps got chances to take the lead, but neither could. Lallianzuala Chhangte was put through on goal by a Vinit Rai pass, as the winger managed to skip past the goalkeeper, but failed to finish the attempt as a defender was able to catch up to him. On the other side, it was Kromah again who decided to go to solo, despite an open Martin Chaves a few metres to his left, but his outside-of-the-boot attempt went off target.

    45+3'- KROMAH MISSES!

    Kromah had the chance of a lifetime to give Churchill Brothers the lead ahead of the half time as persevered alone into the Mumbai box, but his toe-poke did not trouble Phurba one bit.

    44'- WHAT A MISS

    Exquisite through ball from Vinit Rai for Chhangte as the winger was able to skip past the keeper, but takes one more touch to position himself. This gives Mbenda enough time to comeback and block the attempt. Golden chance wasted by Chhangte.

    38'- Bheke rattles the crossbar

    Good spell of pressure from Mumbai as Vignesh bends in a cross and finds Rahul Bheke, whose header could only rattle the crossbar.

    A drink of water for the teams

    It's been a competitive first 30 minutes in the scorching heat of Kerala, but Mumbai City haven't been their usual selves.

    27'- MUMBAI EQUALISE!!!

    Brilliant ball in from Rowlin Borges as Mehtab Singh heads the ball towards the far corner. Nora does get a glove to it but is unable to keep it out as Mumbai City equalise.
