ISL 2022: Kino Sanchez hails Jerry Mawihmingthanga as Odisha beats table-toppers Mumbai City
“He was preparing to have a match like this because he was putting his 100% in every match. The other day he was doing his defensive job well but he wasn’t able to do his attacking duties but today he did both aspects very well. Till the last minute he was giving everything for the team, so I’m happy for him,” he added.
The result leaves Des Buckingham’s men winless in three games. Victory for Kiko Ramirez’s men means that only three points separate them from the league leaders despite being in seventh place on the table.
When asked about whether he enjoyed the team’s performance, Kiko replied: “A lot. Of course, when we win, all the players, the staff on the bench enjoy it but we had to suffer in some moments as Mumbai City FC are a good team. They dominated in certain phases of the match but we reacted well and managed to get the result.”
