In a tight and closely contested Indian Super League match on 13th February, Mumbai City FC managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory over SC East Bengal. The pivotal moment, and essentially the match decider, was the only goal scored during the first half at the 23rd minute putting Mumbai City FC in the lead.

In terms of attacking efficiency, Mumbai City FC displayed superior potential, as evidenced by the higher tally of 10 corner kicks compared to SC East Bengal's 2. This indicates Mumbai City’s ability to exert pressure consistently in the opposition's half and create scoring opportunities, which ultimately resulted in the solitary match-winning goal.

Referee had his hand full with a total of 5 yellow cards which were brandished throughout the game. While discipline was an issue for both teams, it was more apparent for SC East Bengal, as they racked up 3 yellow cards compared to Mumbai City's 2. All three of East Bengal’s yellow cards came in the second half, hinting that the team may have lost focus or perhaps been driven to aggressive tactics out of frustration or to create scoring opportunities in the final minutes of the match.

Substitutions were also a key part of the game, as fresh legs can bring renewed energy and potentially change the course of the game. Unfortunately, specific details about substitutions weren't given in the dataset, which prevents further analysis in this area.

Overall, Mumbai City FC’s assertive attacking approach and slightly better discipline provided the edge over SC East Bengal. The strategy to pressure SC East Bengal in their own half seems to have worked for them, as the number of corner kicks indicates.

Although a 1-0 score line suggests a close match, with SC East Bengal’s discipline issue and lacklustre performance overall, Mumbai City FC managed to bag the win and three points to boost their League standing.
