ISL 2021-22: Well done to Kerala Blasters; we didn't get going tonight - Mumbai City's Des Buckingham

It turned out to be a shocking encounter in Game 35 of the 2021-22 Indian Super League (ISL). On Sunday, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda (Goa), defending champion Mumbai City FC (MCFC) succumbed to a 0-3 defeat to Kerala Blasters FC (KBFC), while the former was down to 10 men. Meanwhile, Mumbai head coach Des Buckingham was all praise for Kerala.

Following the game, Buckingham stated that it was the worst game in the last matches for Mumbai. While things did not go as per his plans, he gave full credit to Kerala for utilising the weak gameplay by his side. However, he asserted a comeback in the next game and that it would be a strong one.
