This is what I-league FB page had to say "Odafa Okolie is given the third goal ashis corner deflected off a defender (MFC) into the goal."
<br><div><br></div><div>Why cant they just give a own goal? its always nice to see Indian names on the scoring list :P</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>lol i also would have loved to see the goal given to mumbai fc player as it would mean our indian leading scorer is close to odafe with a goal less </div> B-)
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">John Coutinho... now that is a player I have not heard of in a while. Great to see him still playing the game and doing very well.</font>

<br><div><br></div><div>yea i was not sure about last 1/2 matches.....</div><div>Khalid has been doing it always..... as soon as the club survival is survived he gives chance to reserve players...</div><div>finally coutinho scored a goal against a good team like Bagan which might help his confidence in future</div>
True, Jamil today used quite a few youngsters like Mehta, Chhangte, Rane, John, and Sawant. Its good to see.<div><br></div><div>Now Mumbai have some winnable games though with SLFC, Sporting, and ONGC. You guys have a chance at 5th and I hope Rane can finally just score 1 goal.</div>
