Mumbai, Sunday, March 8, 2026: A spirited second-half comeback saw Sporting Club Delhi recover from a two-goal deficit to earn a 2-2 draw against Mumbai City FC in Indian Super League 2025-26 at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday, March 8, 2026.

The Islanders remain provisionally fourth in the standings with eight points, while SC Delhi registered their first point of the campaign after four matches. Matija Babović was adjudged the Player of the Match.

Mumbai made the perfect start, taking the lead inside the opening five minutes. Akash Mishra launched a long throw from the left flank that the Delhi defence failed to clear, and Jorge Pereyra Díaz reacted quickest to head the loose ball into the bottom-right corner from close range in the third minute and put the Islanders 1-0 ahead.

Delhi looked to respond quickly, with midfielder Mohammed Amin seeing his effort from distance blocked in the fifth minute before firing another shot narrowly wide ten minutes later. However, Mumbai doubled their advantage in the 17th minute through a well-worked attacking move. Brandon Fernandes threaded a precise pass into the path of Noufal, who was brought in on the left, and the winger produced a clinical right-footed finish into the top corner to make it 2-0.
