Pune: Pune FC turned on the style to outplay Mumbai FC 3-0 in a Round-15 match of the I-League at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune on Wednesday.
Inspired by the triumvirate of Subhash Singh, Arata Izumi and Jeje Lalpekhlua, Pune FC had it too easy against the visitors.
Subhash Singh scored twice - his goals coming in the 20th and 67th minutes, while Gurjinder Kumar netted the third goal in the 89th minute of the match.
With this win, Pune FC regained their number five position with 26 points, while Mumbai FC stay on 14 points from 15 matches.
While trying to take control of the ball, Anas Edathodika lost his temper when Keegan provoked him. In the ensuing melee, Anas apparently hit Keegan and the referee was quick to show the red card. Keegan, however, kept pestering even as his team members tried to pacify him, before referee Francisco Fernandez flashed the red card to Keegan to leave both the teams with 10 men.
That aside, the match was high-quality, with Pune FC playing a superb game up front.
Crowd favourite Arata's presence was instrumental as he created chances and kept Subhash Singh on the go. The efforts of strikers were nonetheless backed up by Lester Fernandes and Douhou Peirre - both sending neat passes that split the Mumbai FC defence on several occasions.
