Hyderabad FC secured their first win of the season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Mohammedan SC. The visitors were quick to capitalize on Mohammedan's defensive lapses, taking an early lead in the fourth minute.

Allan Paulista pounced on a miscalculated pass from the Mohammedan goalkeeper Padam Chhetri. This early strike set the tone for the rest of the match as Hyderabad continued to exploit gaps in the home side's defense.

Just minutes later, Hyderabad doubled their advantage. In the 12th minute, Stefan Sapic capitalized on another defensive mistake, sending a powerful shot into the back of the net. Mohammedan's struggles to find cohesion on the field allowed Hyderabad to dominate the game early on.

By the 15th minute, Allan Paulista completed his brace, securing a three-goal lead. The pace of the game slowed after Hyderabad's blistering start, but Mohammedan's attempts to regain control bore little fruit. By halftime, they were still trailing 3-0, with Hyderabad comfortably in the lead and Mohammedan's defense looking vulnerable.

At the start of the second half, Mohammedan made three substitutions in a bid to turn the game around, bringing on Makan Chothe, Mohammed Irshad, and Lobi Manzoki. However, Hyderabad resumed their attacking momentum.

They further extended their lead in the 51st minute, with Parag Shrivas firing a brilliant shot to make it 4-0. This goal all but sealed Mohammedan's fate as Hyderabad controlled the tempo, despite Mohammedan managing a few attempts, including a shot that rattled the bar.

Both teams ended with an equal share of possession at 50-50, but Hyderabad's clinical edge in the box was decisive. By full-time, Hyderabad had recorded an impressive 21 shots, compared to Mohammedan's 8 shots, underlining their dominance.

As the game neared its conclusion, Hyderabad's coach Sangto made a series of substitutions to rest his key players, reinforcing the team's control. Mohammedan, still in search of their first home win, struggled to break through, ultimately succumbing to Hyderabad's well-structured defense.
