Mumbai City manager Peter Reid was pleased that André Moritz managed to play 45 minutes in Friday’s 2-0 defeat to NorthEast United.

The former Crystal Palace and Bolton Wanderers midfielder was forced to play with a bandaged head after slipping in his bathroom and also had a stomach complaint, but was still able to be involved from the start.

“He was happy to play for 45 minutes,” stated Reid, as reported by the Indian Super League’s official website. “He wasn’t as explosive as he was earlier, but he did a good job for us.”

Despite Moritz’s selection, Mumbai succumbed to late goals from Kondwani Mtonga and Brazilian midfielder Guilherme Batata to suffer their second defeat of the season. The hosts, who sit 4th in the Indian Super League, also had defender Pavel Čmovš sent off.
