SC Delhi produced an extraordinary second-half fightback, scoring three goals in the final 20 minutes to defeat Mumbai City FC 3-2 in an Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 clash at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday.

The hosts established a commanding 2-0 lead before half-time through early goals from Muhammad Ajsal (6') and Zothanpuia (27'). Mumbai City took the lead when Ajsal played a smooth one-two with Noufal and capitalised on a defensive mistake by Lamgoulen Hangshing to score their first open-play goal of the season. The Islanders doubled their lead when Noufal sprinted down the left wing and delivered a low cross for Zothanpuia to finish past the keeper. SC Delhi nearly pulled one back before the break, but Mohammad Azhar's curling effort rattled the crossbar.
