Mumbai City FC head coach Des Buckingham was happy with his side’s performance despite their 1-0 defeat to East Bengal FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Mumbai Football Arena.

Des Buckinham’s men suffered their first defeat to East Bengal FC in Hero ISL history. The Islanders were also beaten by the Torch Bearers in the Durand Cup earlier this season. Buckingham felt they were beaten because he fielded a young, inexperienced side.
