Mumbai City FC head coach Des Buckingham was disappointed to lose 0-1 and concede an advantage to Bengaluru FC going into the second leg of the semi-final in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 season at the Mumbai Football Arena.

The Islanders lost to a set-piece goal from Sunil Chhetri in the second half, when the Bengaluru FC forward headed home from a corner to hand the Blues a victory. The two sides meet again in Bangalore on Sunday for a place in the final of the ISL. Momentum carried a huge advantage for the away side, while for Mumbai City FC, the head coach felt they were unable to convert their chances. The League champions have scored 54 goals, most in the league, but will look to be more clinical in the final third.
