4th March 2018, Mumbai: Sunday turned out to be a quite busy day in Mumbai Football fraternity.

In a one-sided encounter, Juhu Sparks finally got off the mark as they registered their maiden win of the season with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Mumbai Muslims at Mumbai Football Arena, Andheri. After a decent display throughout the first half, the deadlock was broken at the stroke of half-time through Lestor Creado’s strike.

Nickel D’Souza wrapped the game up in the 82nd minute with a fantastic finish to give Juhu Sparks all three points. This was Mumbai Muslims’ third straight defeat of the season.
