Mumbai City FC beat Mohun Bagan SG
Mumbai City FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant played out a crazy ISL game at the Mumbai Football Arena. However, the game will probably only be remembered for the number of red cards involved (7).
In terms of goals, Jason Cummings gave Mohun Bagan Super Giant the lead, but Greg Stewart equalised just before half-time and then Bipin Singh scored the winner after a shot that took a massive deflection off Anirudh Thapa.

Gokulam Kerala beaten by Odisha FC
Gokulam Kerala don't lose in the Indian Women's League... especially not early on, but that's what happened today after Odisha FC beat them thanks to goals from Pyari Xaxa and Lynda Kom. Defending champs Gokulam had started on the front foot, but the defence marshalled by goalkeeper Shreya Hooda and centre back Sweety Devi held strong. Once Odisha found their attacking groove, though, there was little Gokulam could do. Their former player - and last season's MVP - Indumathi Kathiresan pulled the strings throughout.
Odisha now lead the IWL early on with two wins in two.
What's on today?
ISL action continues with a big match on Wednesday. Mumbai City FC will take on Mohun Bagan Super Giant.
