*Sampath secures victory for Mumbai *
Sampath Kuttymani netted as Mumbai FC narrowly overcame Sporting Clube de Goa 1-0 in the Aiff’s Federation Cup match, at PJN Stadium, Fatorda, on Tuesday. Mumbai led 1-0 at the breather. Mumbai started the strongest in the first ten minutes, with raids down the flanks. Sporting Goa soon started to find their groove and dominate possession. Rowllin Borges and Mauvin Borges came close to giving the Flaming Oranje the lead, but the Mumbai custodian came to his teams rescue on both occasions. Deep into injury time of the first half, Mumbai surged ahead after Sampath headed in from a cross which was swung in from the right side. Changing over, Sporting Goa tried to find the equalizer but it eluded them as Mumbai defended resiliently.
