Boumas on target
Mumbai doubled their lead in the 11th minute and this time, Boumous got his name on the scoresheet. Ahmed Jahouh sprayed a long ball from his own half towards Boumous from a free-kick, and the Frenchman made it look easy as he got past his marker and slotted past Albino.
Blasters took time to get into the game and had a couple of tries at the rival goal forcing Amrinder Singh into action. Amrinder first denied Gomez with a diving save and later stopped Sahal Abdul Samad's effort. Sahal should have passed the ball to Facundo Pereyra, who was in a better position to score.
Improved performance
Blasters created chances and showed their desire to get back in the game but the Mumbai defenders were an equal match to their opponents. Mumbai were guilty of squandering yet another chance just before the break. Boumous cut the ball back to Le Fondre, but his chip sailed over the bar.
Blasters put up an improved performance in the second half. They created chances early and nearly pulled a goal back in the 55th minute but Jordan Murray's effort was ruled offside.
Another penalty
With less than 20 minutes on the clock, Mumbai had the chance to further extend their lead when they were awarded yet another penalty after Boumous was fouled in the box.
But this time, Albino read it right and his strong right arm denied Boumous.
Exceptionally well
At the other end, Amrinder came up with a brilliant save when he parried Gomez's long-range shot which brushed off the crossbar.
The keeper did exceptionally well to help his side maintain their fifth clean sheet of the season.
