In a thrilling encounter, the resurgent Mumbai Marines FC showcased their determination to bounce back from a previous defeat. The team started the match with a fiery intensity and wasted no time in making an impact. It was in the sixth minute of the first half when Mehul Ghadge rose above the defense to head home a well-delivered corner, giving Mumbai Marines an early lead and setting the tone for an exciting contest.
However, despite their early advantage, Mumbai Marines encountered a shaky period towards the end of the first half. Veniza Virar FC capitalized on this vulnerability and managed to equalize in the 24th minute through Mayur Waghela. As halftime approached, Mumbai Marines’ hopes were further dampened when Aditya Andhale found the back of the net, putting Veniza Virar FC in the lead with a score of 2-1.
Determined not to let their hard work go to waste, Mumbai Marines FC regrouped during the halftime break and emerged for the second half with renewed vigor. It was their talisman, Abbubaker Khan, who stepped up to the occasion, displaying his composure and skill. In the 53rd minute, Khan made no mistake from the penalty spot, confidently dispatching the ball into the back of the net to level the score.
With the majority of the second half still to play, both teams fought tooth and nail in search of the winning goal that would secure all three points. Despite Mumbai Marines’ fiery start to the first half and their equalizer in the second half, the elusive goal simply eluded them. Both defenses stood strong, denying any further breakthroughs and forcing the match to conclude in a hard-fought draw.
This result marked the end of Mumbai Marines FC’s first match in October, as they shared a point with Veniza Virar FC. With three matches played so far in the MFA Super League, Mumbai Marines now boast a record of one win, one loss, and one draw, totaling four points out of a possible nine.
