Bollywood star Varun Dhawan, who is gearing up for his upcoming film ‘Baby John’, has spoken about what needs to change in the Hindi film industry.
The draw meant that Mumbai failed to leapfrog Odisha FC and remained in the fifth spot with 20 points from 14 matches. The hosts remained at the bottom of the table with six points.
A tale of two penalties saw Hyderabad FC hold Mumbai City FC to a 1-1 draw in a dramatic Indian Super League (ISL) contest at the GMC Balayogi Stadium in Hyderabad on Friday.
In a game that was closely contested in the midfield, a Mohamed Larbi (43′) spot-kick seemed to have given Mumbai City all three points. But an injury-time penalty from Marko Stankovic (90+4′) ensured that Hyderabad salvaged a point at home.

Mumbai have used their flanks to good effect this season and the trend continued as they threatened early. Hyderabad countered by making use of the spaces vacated by Mumbai’s wide players. Mumbai’s Serge Kevyn and Hyderabad’s Asish Rai both served dangerous crosses into the box which the defences had to deal with.
Hyderabad keeper Laxmikant Kattimani, whose last outing was a forgettable one, did well when called into action in the 19th minute. Amini Chermiti sent Diego Carlos in behind the defence with a well-timed pass but the Brazilian was denied a goal by the Goan custodian from a one-on-one opportunity.
The opening goal came after Nikhil Poojary handled the ball inside the box in an attempt to halt Kevyn’s run into the box, forcing the referee to point at the spot. Larbi stepped up and placed the ball into the bottom right corner.
Hyderabad struggled to test Mumbai goalie Amrinder Singh after the break as well in this ISL contest. The hosts had a couple of chances to equalise after the hour mark. Mathew Kilgallon’s powerful header from a corner-kick flew inches wide of the frame of the goal. With a quarter of the game left, he sent another header wide from a similar corner delivery.
At the other end, Carlos made a dangerous run down the wing and sent in a good cross into the box, but Adil Khan’s last-ditch interception denied Kevyn from getting Mumbai their second goal.
Just when it looked like Mumbai would see the game out, a foul by Pratik Chaudhari on Bobo inside the box right at the end allowed Stankovic to equalise from the spot.
