With six goals in nine matches, Mumbai City FC forward Jorge Rolando Pereyra Diaz and Bengaluru’s Gurpreet Singh Sandhu occupy the top spot in the Golden Boot and Golden Glove list respectively in the ongoing Indian Super League (ISL) season.
The ISL season 10 continues to be action-packed, with spectacular goals and top-notch saves truly cementing the league as India’s premier football competition.
On Wednesday, Mumbai City FC and Mohun Bagan Supergiant played out a fierce 2-1 with the Islanders coming out on top, in a match that witnessed plenty of drama and involved a total of seven of red cards.
Mumbai City FC has picked up right from where it left off last season, looking set for another top four finish and much of the team’s success can be attributed to its Uruguayan striker Pereyra Diaz’s goal scoring prowess. The 33-year-old has been impressive so far, converting almost every chance, and currently leading with six goals.

Chennaiyin’s road to revival of its glory days has been motored by its Brazilian midfield maestro Rafael Crivellaro. Though the team has been struggling and inconsistent this season, Rafael Crivellaro with his five assists and creative playmaking has given hope to the Super Machans that there are better days to come.
Another team that has had it’s fair share of struggles and disappointing performances is Bengaluru FC. Last year’s finalist will need its senior players to step up to resuce its faltering season and that is exactly what its experienced custodian Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has been doing. If not for his 34 saves across 11 matches, Bengaluru would have been in a much more difficult position than it currently finds itself in.
