Guwahati, Dec 21: Balwant Singh, scored two goals set up by Achille Emana, propelled Mumbai City FC to a 2-0 win over NorthEast United FC in Guwahati on Wednesday.
With this win Mumbai is now in top four of the Indian Super League (ISL) table.
The first goal was a howler as NorthEast's goalkeeper, Ravi Kumar, ran out of his area to challenge Balwant, with the Indian simply having to arrange it past him into a gaping goal from outside the box.
A second goal was scored in the 68th minute. A lapse in concentration from Rowllin Borges allowed Emana into a dangerous area from where he squared the ball for Balwant.
While Balwant took credit for the goals, it was Emana who caused the most trouble for NorthEast.
