Bengaluru FC showed no mercy on Mumbai City FC in the first knockout match in the ISL 2024-25 play-offs, thrashing the defending cup winners 5-0 to secure a well-deserved semi-finals berth.
Suresh Singh Wangjam, Edgar Mendez, Ryan Williams, Sunil Chhetri, and Jorge Pereyra Diaz each scored a goal to run riot over the Islanders, stamping a clean-sheet as well.
Despite a tumultuous run in the league stage this season, Bengaluru finished third on the leaderboard, having bagged 38 points in 24 matches. The Blues secured third place due to better head-to-head stats against the fourth and fifth-placed teams.
"My message to the team and to the fans, is here. Together. I said before the match that I wanted a party, and we enjoyed that. In four days we have another party." 🗓️
However, head coach Gerard Zaragoza has a strong squad available for the semi-final clashes against FC Goa. Despite Vinith Venkatesh having suffered a knock against Mumbai, he might be available for the first leg. However, Bengaluru's second-choice keeper, Lalthuammawia Ralte, is still unavailable after suffering an injury in late February this year.
Bengaluru have not won a game against FC Goa in their last five meetings, and the Blues aim to change that as the first leg takes place at their home stadium.
