Kerala Blasters were ahead for much of the match but their lead could have been extended had it not been for the fact that they decided to go for shots in places where they could have played a defence-splitting pass. Ironically, it was a shot from an improbable distance that got Mumbai City a point. Substitute Pranjal Bhumij took a shot from over 35 yards out in the 90th minute. Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem, who had been brilliant throughout this match, went full stretch but could not keep that out.
