The Petr Kratky-coached Mumbai City are thus set to rematch the Mariners for a shot at becoming the ISL Cup Winners after the Kolkata-based side beat them to claim the League Winner's Shield and become the ISL Champions earlier this month.
Liston Colaco and Jason Cummings scored once in each half as Mohun Bagan Super Giant became the Indian Super League (ISL) Champions by defeating Mumbai City FC by 2-1 at the Salt Lake Stadium here on Monday night.
