While continuing, Tiger said that he was looking forward to playing for the club, but did not forget to wish his teammates for the game.
“I was really looking forward to playing for my team Mumbay FC but unfortunately I would not be able to make it. All the very best to everybody out there. The tournament has been amazing. All the very best Mumbay FC. Kill it boys,” added Tiger.
Tough start for Mumbay FC
It has been a tough debut campaign for Mumbay FC, who are yet to find their place in the Durand Cup. The side conceded five goals without reply in each of their first two games against Langsning FC and Shillong Lajong. They will aim to finish their group-stage campaign on a high-note when they face Nongkesh third and final game.
