Mumbai City FC had chances to double their lead, but they went into the break with only a 1-0 lead.
That would haunt the guests just after the restart as in the 47th minute ATK equalised when Conor Thomas found young Bipin Singh, who beat keeper Amrinder Singh
But the lead only lasted for six minutes as Sanju Pradhan delivered a perfect cross for Rafa Jorda to head home and once more give Mumbai City FC the lead.
