Earlier in the league stage, Goa had beaten Mumbai twice. For Mumbai, Brazilian striker Rafael Bastos scored the lone goal in the 20th minute at the Mumbai Football Arena in suburban Andheri. Mumbai, bolstered by the return of defender Joyner Monte Lourenco, began on an aggressive note.

The aggression reaped dividends for Mumbai as Bastos slotted in the 20th minute to give Mumbai the lead. ssoko made a speedy run down the right and delivered the ball towards the far post. Bastos ran into the box and got his foot to it and the ball fell back of the net. But 11 minutes later, Jackichand equalized for Goa. Corominas took a shot from 20 yards, which bounced in front of experienced Mumbai custodian Amrinder Singh, who pushed it away. An alert Jackichand reacted quickly and smashed the loose ball into the goal. Fall then took Goa 2-1 ahead with his diving header. Brandon Fernandes took the corner from the right. Edu Bedia ran it at the near post and headed the ball towards the far post, when Fall ran from behind and slotted it home with a diving header. At the half-way mark, Goa led 2-1. After the change of ends, Goa extended their lead to 3-1 with Corominas, who is the leading goal-scorer in the ISL, netting in a header in the 51st minute.
