A first-half penalty scored by Mohammed Arfat Ansari was enough in the end as India On Track FC (IOT) shocked a much-fancied MJY-GMSC 1-0 to win the Mumbai Football Association (MFA) Premier League title at the Neville D’Souza Turf in Bandra on Sunday.
The drum-beating noisy gathering of fans, despite the searing heat, were well-entertained by some fine football as both teams were in a position to win the title. Going into the match, MYJ, who were on 17 points, needed just a draw (one point) to emerge champs, while IOT, on 15 points, needed nothing less than victory (three points).
