It's a title race like no other in the Indian Super League. Mumbai City FC, led by head coach Petr Kratky, has knocked Mohun Bagan Super Giant off their perch, leaving the latter to ponder their chances. The win marked a special feeling for any ISL team, especially considering City Football Group exited and their players took pay cuts.
Mohun Bagan's defeat means they blew a chance to put clear water between them and the rest, with a win at home would have given them a three-point lead over Jamshedpur FC and five more than the top five. Now, they're in a fight, on the same points as Jamshedpur, whom they play next.
The title race is heating up, with three points separating the first and fifth teams and four between the toppers and FC Goa, who are sixth. East Bengal's 7-0 win over Mohammedan Sporting has livened things up, and the bottom half is also tight, with a mere five points between the ninth and 14th teams.
Meanwhile, Odisha FC surprised NorthEast United away, Punjab FC beat a listless Bengaluru FC, and though they have pulled things back, that result may have hastened the end of Renedy Singh's time as interim head coach with the club naming Pep Muñoz in his place till the end of next season.
