Mumbai City FC sails into the semi-finals with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Inter Kashi

Mumbai City FC booked their spot in the semi-finals of the Kalinga Super Cup 2025, edging out Inter Kashi 1-0 in a tense quarter-final match at the Kalinga Stadium. A second-half strike by Lallianzuala Chhangte in the 71st minute proved to be the match-winner, as Mumbai's persistence finally paid off after a first half that saw both sides struggle to create clear-cut chances.

The first half was marked by caution from both teams, with the best chance falling to Mumbai’s Vikram Partap Singh, whose heavy touch denied him a clear opportunity to score. Mumbai City were the more dominant side after the break, testing Kashi’s defense and goalkeeper Shubham Das. Mumbai had several chances to break the deadlock, including a stunning acrobatic shot by Niko Karelis, which was narrowly wide, and a series of close calls in the box.

It was Chhangte who made the breakthrough in the 71st minute. After a scramble in the box following a poorly cleared cross, Chhangte fired a first-time shot at the near post, which deflected off the upright and into the net, giving Mumbai a deserved lead. Despite some late pressure from Kashi, Mumbai held firm to seal the victory and progress to the next round.
