Mumbai City suffer 0-6 loss against Al Shabab, crash out of AFC Champions League
Mumbai City FC were eliminated from the AFC Champions League after suffering a 0-6 drubbing at the hands of Al Shabab of Saudi Arabia in a group B match here. It was Hattan Bahebri's hat-trick which confirmed Al Shabab as the winners of group B on Friday night. The Saudi side took the lead in the 19th minute when former Al Hilal duo of Nawaf Al and Hattan Bahebri combined with the club captain feeding his teammate with a fine through pass that Bahebri finished with aplomb from inside the box. An unfortunate moment for Mumbai City captain Mourtada Fall then allowed Al Shabab to double their lead 10 minutes before the break. The Senegalese defender desperately attempted to clear Carlos Junior's finish from the goal line but ended up sending it into the roof of the net.
