Thaer Krouma came off the bench to score a late equaliser as Mumbai City FC held Mohun Bagan Super Giant to a 2-2 entertaining draw in the opening match of Indian Super League 2024-25 on Friday. (Match Highlights | More Football News)
One of the longest serving foreigners of the league, Mumbai City's Tiri gave his former side Mohun Bagan an early lead with an own goal in the ninth minute before scoring for his current team's first goal of the day in the 70th minute.
Alberto Rodriguez, making his ISL debut for Mohun Bagan, had given the Mariners a two-goal advantage with a 28th minute strike.
However, reminiscent of their Durand Cup final defeat to NorthEast United FC on August 31 at the same venue, the Jose Molina-coached Mohun Bagan could not maintain their advantage.
Amid a heavy downpour, Mumbai City FC mounted a strong comeback in the second-half equalising through substitute Thaer Krouma to secure a crucial away point.
