Mumbai City FC kept alive their playoffs hopes as they got the better of defending champions ATK 2-1 in an Indian Super League (ISL) match here yesterday. Marcio Nascimento (32th minute) and Rafa Jorda (53rd) scored their first ever ISL goals on either side of a Bipin Singh (47th) strike as the Kolkata side provided Mumbai City FC a new lease of life.
The defeat &mdash; their fifth at home this season &mdash; at the Salt Lake Stadium meant ATK are now winless in their last six games. Alexandre Guimaraes' side needed all three points from the game and his side came up with the goods. While the win didn't help Mumbai City FC improve their position in the league table but it kept their hopes alive.
Mumbai have 20 points from 15 games, and still have a chance of making it into the top four. After a sluggish start to the game, Rozario brought the game to life with a spectacular freekick goal at the half-hour mark to give Mumbai City FC the lead. Bipin Singh then equalised for Ashley Westwood's side early in the second half but the visitors regained their lead minutes later through Rafa Jorda.
