Mumbai City FC will face FC Goa in the first leg of the second semifinal of the Indian Super League (ISL 2023-24) on Wednesday, January 18, 2023. The match will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. Mumbai City FC, the defending ISL champions, will be looking to reach the final for the second consecutive season. They enjoyed a commanding league stage, reaching its highest points tally (47) in the competition but failed to defend the League Shield after a 1-2 loss against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the deciding clash, losing out on a point. FC Goa, on the other hand, will be looking to make a deep run in the ISL after a disappointing campaign last season. They finished seventh in the league table and failed to qualify for the playoffs. However, they have shown some good form in the knockout stages, beating ATK Mohun Bagan in the quarterfinals.
