Chennai: Substitute Leo Costa scored a last-gasped goal as Mumbai City FC played out a 1-1 draw with defending champions Chennaiyin FC in the Indian Super League clash here yesterday.
Jeje Lalpekhlua's 51st minute strike seemed like it would be enough for Chennaiyin FC to walk away with three full points. Mumbai never seemed to be into the game until Costa came off the bench to score a wonderful long ranger in the 88th minute to win their first ever point in the ISL against Chennaiyin FC.
In four previous clashes between the two teams, Chennaiyin FC had emerged triumphant in all games.
The draw left Mumbai City on second spot with 12 points, the same as Atletico de Kolkata, while Chennaiyin have 10 points in their kitty and are sandwiched between Delhi Dynamos in third and NorthEast United FC in fifth, both with the same points.
Chennai coach Marco Materazzi was suspended for this clash for his 'misconduct against opponents or persons other than match officials' in his side's clash against Kerala Blasters.
