Kolkata, Dec 13: Mohammedan Sporting dropped points at home for the first time this season when they were held 2-2 by a spirited Mumbai Kenkre FC side in a I-League 2022-23 match at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, here on Tuesday.
Mohammedan Sporting took the early lead thanks to captain Marcus Joseph’s great long-range strike before Azfar Noorani equalised for Mumbai Kenkre at the stroke of half-time. Abiola Dauda’s header put the Black and White Brigade ahead again at the hour mark but the Mumbaikars responded yet again with skipper Kiran Pandhare’s goal 15 minutes from time.
Mohammedan Sporting dominated the ball straight from kick-off, building from the back and using the wings to penetrate the opponent’s box.
Both Mohammedan Sporting and Mumbai Kenkre now have seven points from seven games played with the Kolkata club sitting just above Kenkre, in the ninth position, thanks to a better goal difference. (IANS)
