Sudeva began on the front foot and looked the more threatening side in the opening stages, pushing forward in search of an early breakthrough. However, MYJ’s defence held firm, dealing well with the pressure and limiting clear-cut chances.

At the other end, MYJ showed promise through Kwan Lewis and Shravan Shetty, who were lively on the flanks and delivered dangerous balls into the box, though the Sudeva goalkeeper remained alert to deal with the threat. Despite the intent from both sides, the first half lacked clear opportunities, with the teams going into the break level at 0-0.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Sudeva continuing to press and MYJ relying on solid defending and key interventions from goalkeeper Paramjeet Singh to stay in the game.

The decisive moment came in the 73rd minute when Ejaj Ahamad capitalised on a defensive lapse to tap home from close range, giving the hosts a crucial lead.

MYJ looked to respond, with substitute Miit Adekar injecting energy into the attack and winning important fouls in advanced areas. However, Sudeva maintained their defensive shape and kept MYJ at bay in the closing stages.

The result sees Sudeva draw level on points with MYJ while moving ahead on goal difference, as MYJ suffer their third defeat of the campaign and look to regroup in the matches ahead.

Coming into the fixture on the back of a strong win over NEROCA FC, MYJ looked to build momentum, but it was the home side who struck first. Despite MYJ controlling possession in the early stages, Karbi took the lead in the 15th minute through Rahul Kumar Paswan, who headed home from a corner.

MYJ goalkeeper Paramjeet Singh was kept busy throughout the first half and produced several key saves to keep the deficit at one, as the hosts carried a 1-0 lead into the break.

The second half saw Karbi extend their advantage early on. A foul inside the box led to a penalty in the 55th minute, which was converted by Lalsiem Chongloi to make it 2-0.

MYJ searched for a way back into the contest but were unable to convert their chances. Karbi continued to press and added a third in the 83rd minute through Kevisanyu, who rose to meet a cross and headed past the goalkeeper.

The forward struck again late in the game, finishing confidently in a one-on-one situation in the 89th minute to seal a comprehensive 4-0 victory for the hosts.

The result hands MYJ their second defeat of the season in their debut I-League 2 campaign. Attention now turns to their upcoming fixture against Sudeva Delhi FC on April 21, where they will look to bounce back.

As they prepare to represent Mumbai in the I-League 2 2025–26 campaign, MYJ-GMSC’s journey stands as a indication to smart planning, squad cohesion, and a vision to follow on.

MYJ-GMSC were formed ahead of the 2023–24 season after the merger of Mighty Young Joe FC and Goalorious Mothers SC. Unlike most new clubs, they didn’t take time to settle.

In their first season, they won the Mumbai Premier League title, going unbeaten with 14 wins and 2 draws. That campaign secured their place in the 2024–25 I-League 3, marking their entry into national competition.

Drawn in Group C and playing in Aizawl, MYJ-GMSC faced Chanmari FC, HAL, Coromandel FC, and RKM. Their campaign started with a tough draw against HAL, where they came from behind with a late equaliser. They followed it up with a strong 4–0 win over Coromandel FC, showing their attacking quality, with multiple goal scorers stepping up. A key result came in their final group game, a 5–1 win over RKM, which helped them secure qualification.

MYJ-GMSC finished second in the group and advanced to the playoffs—one of 10 teams to make it through from the initial 25-team field in I-league 3 2024-25.

The playoff round in West Bengal was a step up in level. MYJ-GMSC were placed in a group with Chanmari, SAT, Abbas Union, and Dalbir FA. Their campaign included: A 2–0 win over Dalbir FA, 1–0 win over Abbas Union But losses against Chanmari and SAT costed them the top two spot. These results left them with 2 wins from 4 games, narrowly missing out on a top-two finish. Despite finishing third in their playoff group, they still achieved promotion, as the third-placed teams were awarded spots in the 2025–26 I-League 2.

From an unbeaten local league campaign to navigating the pressures of national competition, MYJ-GMSC’s journey has been defined by a vision of growth of Mumbai Football. As they now prepare for life in I-League 2, the club carries not just momentum, but the belief that their rapid ascent is only the beginning.
