SC Delhi netted three times in the final 20 minutes to beat Mumbai City FC 3-2 in an Indian Super League fixture in Mumbai on Sunday (November, 1, 2026).

Carlos Fortes (73), Akshat Mehra (90+2) and Juan Pena (90+4) were on target for the visitor, which had trailed 0-2 at the break following goals from Muhammad Ajsal (6) and Zothanpuia (27).

The host took the lead as Ajsal played a superb one-two with Noufal before slotting home following a defensive error from Lamgoulen Hangshing.

Mumbai doubled its advantage in the 27th minute. Noufal made a strong run down the left before crossing for Zothanpuia, who calmly finished with his right foot.

In the 73rd minute, T.P. Rehenesh spilled a corner, and the ball fell to Ashutosh Mehta, who set up Fortes for a tap-in to reduce the deficit.

Substitute Mehra made an immediate impact, taking a pass from Richard Ndayishimaye into his stride and curling an effort at Rehenesh, who could only push the ball into his own net.

Only minutes later, Pena completed the turnaround, sprinting forward in the 94th minute and dancing his way past two Mumbai City defenders before slotting homel.

The results: Mumbai City FC 2 (Ajsal 6, Zothanpuia 27) lost to SC Delhi 3 (Fortes 73, Mehra 90+2, Pena 90+4); At Pune: Inter Kashi 1 (Passi 51) lost to FC Goa 2 (Feuillassier 34, Chiki 66).
