Mumbai Strikers wins their first Elite match

7th January 2018, Mumbai: On Sunday evening, newly-promoted side Mumbai Strikers finally snatch all three points in the ongoing Elite Division after defeating Western Railway 1-0 at Mumbai Football Arena, Andheri.

This was Strikers’ first win in five Elite Division games and what an occasion to clinch a crucial victory in their very first match of 2018. The Railways were missing attacking duo Lineker Machado and Mervin Stephens who is currently with the Maharashtra team for the upcoming Santosh Trophy.

Mumbai Strikers took control of the match proceedings right from the kick-off with Srinath Gite and Akshay Devadiga coming close to score. On the other end, Anil Pawar almost scored from an attempted flying header as he failed to judge the cross in front of the target.

After creating numerous opportunities in the first quarter of the game, Mumbai Striker finally broke the deadlock in the 28th minute. Arsalan Hamdulay scored from a rebound to put Strikers’ noses in front.

Srinath and Arsalan were combining brilliantly and could have doubled the lead when both the attackers missed an easy opportunity from the same move.

The Strikers has conceded the majority of the goals in the second-half this season. But yesterday, the defence really frustrated Western Railway who was finding hard to break Mumbai Strikers’ resilience.

Arnold, Manthan and Melron Mascarenhas did a brilliant job to shut down Railway’s attack which helped them secure a memorable victory to kick-start their year on a winning note.
