A stubborn Mumbai FC defence was broken in the added time of the first half when Vineeth pounced onto Cameroon Watson's cutback delivery. The striker completed his hat-trick with two goals in the second half, both assisted by new recruit Harmanjot Khabra. Vineeth CK's hat-trick, the first player to do so in this season of Hero I-League sealed a quite comfortable victory.
