Bambolim : , Feb 3 (IANS) Mumbai City FC avoided a second consecutive defeat by coming from behind to beat Kerala Blasters 2-1 on Wednesday in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the GMC Stadium.
After missing many chances, Adam Le Fondre s 67th minute penalty proved decisive after Bipin Singh had earlier canceled out Kerala s Vicente Gomez s first half goal.
Vicuna opted to go for a two-man front pairing in Gary Hooper and Jordan Murray in their latest 3-2 win over Jamshedpur on Sunday but the coach insisted that it s style over formation for him. Every game is different. So what we are doing is looking at the players we have and the structure we are more confident in and trying to put the best team possible. It s true that Gary and Jordan performed well together in the last game, he also addressed questions over his constantly changing backline. When you have to correct things, you have to look for the best formation. During the season, you also have physical problems and injuries [and suspensions]. We are always looking for the best formation for every game. We are also working on how to be more competitive in the teams as our objective is to get the three points.
The winning coach of the evening, Kerala Blasters
Kibu Vicuna: I am very happy with result. It was a very difficult game for us. We played 20 minutes with one man less and we saw character from the player. I am very happy for the supporters and the players.
[If this is his best starting XI] We have different possibilities. Tonight we thought that it was the best line up we can show with Gary and Jordan up front and two lines of 4. It was a good result. We will see if we can use the same players and formation in the next game.
