Mumbai City FC began their Indian Super League campaign with an agonising 1-2 defeat to newly-promoted Churchill Brothers at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda here on Sunday.
After a goalless first half, Gaurav Bora put the Goan side ahead in the 57th minute, before Sebatian Gutierrez (86th min) doubled their lead. The Islanders pulled a goal back via a spot-kick from Sergio Llamas in the fifth minute of stoppage time, but could not find the equaliser.
