There were plenty of chances, but Bengaluru FC and Mumbai City FC missed the finishing touch. The goalless draw in a crucial Indian Super League match at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Saturday left both teams disappointed.
The more than 14,500 spectators expected more from BFC in the last home match. The one point did little to strengthen BFC’s title hopes. With three matches to go, Blues leaders Mohun Bagan Super Giant are on four points, while Mumbai City are one point behind Mariners.
BFC came together well to bombard the visitors’ box in the second half. Ashique Kuruniyan, given a free run on the flank, made a fine solo run but his cross could not find the advancing Sunil Chhetri. Kuruniyan remained a threat throughout the match, but his last ball was not good.
Substitute V. Soham made an immediate impact, firing a shot from close range. In the final minutes, the home side advanced deep into Mumbai City’s territory, but once again the fortress could not be broken.

Mumbai City thrived on the counter-attack. Akash Mishra came close in the first half, testing BFC goalkeeper Gurpreet Sandhu with a shot on target.
Lallianzuala Chhangte squandered the best chance of the match. Chhangte played a one-on-one with Sandhu, dragging the ball wide and taking a sharp angle towards the goal.
The 28-year-old showed jittery nerves again as he made a fine run but hesitated to pull the trigger.
In the 82nd minute, a bad ball landed well for Vikram Singh, who fired the ball over the crossbar.
