The Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 started with an enthralling 2-2 draw played between Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Mumbai City FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Friday, September 13.

Last season’s ISL Shield champions Mohun Bagan took an early lead courtesy of an own goal from José Luis Espinosa Arroyo before defender Alberto Rodríguez doubled the lead for the Mariners in the 28th minute.

However, reigning ISL Cup winner Mumbai City later bounced back in the second half as goals from José Luis Espinosa Arroyo and Thaer Krouma helped the visitors salvage a point.
