The Hindu
NorthEast United 3 (Deshorn Brown 29, 56 & 80) drew with Mumbai City 3 (Igor Angulo 33 & 52, Bipin Singh 40)
Deshorn Brown 3 Mumbai City 3.
Thus read the scoreline at the end of a thrilling ISL encounter between NorthEast United and the defending champion at Fatorda on Monday night.
But for the brilliant hat-trick from the Jamaican striker, the Mumbai men would have gone back to their winning ways, after their stunning loss to Kerala Blasters in the last match. Instead, they had to settle for just one point, which came courtesy goals from Igor Angulo (two) and Bipin Singh.
Asian Games champion Avinash Sable opened his season in the 3000m steeple chase with a silver in the Portland Track Festival, a World Athletics Continental Tour bronze event, in Oregon on Saturday. He clocked 8:21.85s. Asian champion Parul Chaudhary took the bronze in the women’s 3000m steeple chase in a season-best 9:31.38s. Former Asian bronze medallist Sanjivani Jadhav struck gold in the women’s 10,000m in 32:22.77s, a time which was a second off her personal best, while Seema was sixth in 32:55.91s.
