SC Delhi rallied from a 0-2 half-time deficit to beat Mumbai City FC 3-2 in an Indian Super League fixture in Mumbai on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Carlos Fortes (73), Akshat Mehra (90+2) and Juan Pena (90+4) scored for the visitors after Muhammad Ajsal (6) and Zothanpuia (27) had given Mumbai City the lead.

SC Delhi had trailed 0-2 at the interval but struck three times in the final 20 minutes to secure the win; Pena’s late solo run completed the turnaround. The match report noted Pena’s decisive finish as sealing SC Delhi’s comeback.

Mumbai opened the scoring in the sixth minute when Muhammad Ajsal played a one-two with Noufal and then slotted home following a defensive error from Lamgoulen Hangshing.

The hosts doubled their advantage in the 27th minute after Noufal made a strong run down the left and crossed for Zothanpuia, who finished with his right foot.

SC Delhi began their fightback in the 73rd minute when T.P. Rehenesh spilled a corner; the loose ball reached Ashutosh Mehta, who set up Carlos Fortes for a simple tap-in.

The equaliser and winner arrived in stoppage time. Substitute Akshat Mehra took a pass from Richard Ndayishimaye into his stride and curled an effort at Rehenesh, who could only push the ball into his own net (90+2); Juan Pena then sprinted forward in the 94th minute, dancing his way past two Mumbai City defenders before slotting home (90+4) to complete the comeback.
