Final verdict
Mumbai City FC were the better team on the pitch across the 90 minutes and they deserved the one point from Kolkata. Vipin was superb with his runs and crosses and Noufal impressed everyone in the second half as well.
Molina looked defensive from the start and except for the goal, there was not that many of chances for Mohun Bagan in the match. However, for Mumbai City FC, Nikolaos Karelis missed three chances but Tiri and Krouma made sure all of that were wiped out at the end.
With more games, both teams will surely coordinate better and with the bench strength both team have, it will be surprising if they do not finish in the top four.
What a comeback! What a goal! Noufal made the cutback to find Krouma in the middle who side footed thew ball past Kaith to equalise for Mumbai City FC.
He hits the Suuuuiiiii!

ISL 2024-25 Playoffs Fixtures and Format: Everything you need to know
Bengaluru FC, Jamshedpur FC, NorthEast United FC and Mumbai City FC will compete in the ISL playoffs. Here is everything you need to know about ISL 2024-25 Playoffs Fixtures and Format.
Following a tight contention in the league stage to seal passage into theIndian Super League 2024-25 knockout phase, six teams have secured their appearance for the playoffs.
The league stage of 2024-25 ended with a dead-rubber game on Wednesday as Kerala Blasters and Hyderabad FC shared the spoils in a 1-1 stalemate.
The Mariners successfully defended their ISL League Shield as well, becoming the first-ever team in ISL history to achieve this feat, having earned a record 56 points in 24 matches.
Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United FC also booked their places in the playoffs. NorthEast United FC secured the fourth spot with 38 points in 24 games, whereas Jamshedpur FC finished in fifth place with the same points, but fell short in the goal difference.
The sixth and final playoff spot was clinched by Mumbai City FC, with 36 points in 24 games following a 2-0 victory against Bengaluru FC in the final match of the regular season.
Bengaluru FC, NorthEast United FC and Jamshedpur FC all finished with 38 points after 24 games. For teams that have the same number of points, their head-to-head record is considered first. If their head-to-head results are tied at 1-1 or if they have drawn, then goal difference is taken into account.
According to this rule, Bengaluru FC had a win and a draw against Northeast United FC, which is why they are ranked above. Jamshedpur FC also has the points as Bengaluru and NorthEast, but their head-to-head record is lower, which is why they are placed below the other two.
ISL Playoffs Format

The top six teams from the league stage qualify for the playoffs, with the top two teams ensuring a direct place in the two-legged semi-finals.
Additionally, the team that finishes at the top of the table after the league stage wins the League Shield and secures a place in the group phase of the AFC Champions League Two.
The four teams that finish in the third to sixth positions will compete for a spot in the semi-finals through a playoff round. Notably, the playoffs are decided in a single-legged knockout game which is played in the home ground of the team that finished higher on the leaderboard.
To award some deserving advantage to the third and fourth placed teams in the league stage, the third-placed team takes on the sixth-placed side, whereas the fourth-placed and fifth-placed team meet in the other playoff.
The winners of the play-offs will advance to the semi-finals and will compete against the first two teams for a place in the ISL 2024-25 Final.
