Even in victory, however, Mahindra kept to their habit of not scoring until pushed. Churchill coach Emeka Ezugo, realising the opponents’ plans for Odafa, named Robert Lalthlamuana in the starting XI and the striker took just 12 minutes to score from Kalu’s cross. After Chidi left Churchill one-goal short in the 32nd minute, the Mumbai team went on the defensive. With the match looking like going Mahindra’s way, Churchill struck back through Savio Monteiro, but that only delayed the inevitable.
