"The job is not finished yet. We are closer to our second target which is to go to Kochi for the final (December 18) but for that we have to play with the same intensity. We will think about the trophy once we secure a final berth," Molina said hailing their 3-2 win in the semifinal first leg against Mumbai City FC.
Iain Hume's double strike following Lalrindika Ralte's opening goal saw them edge past Mumbai who suffered another blow with Diego Forlan sent off in the 74th minute.
"He was left frustrated like he can't do nothing. We did a great job to contain him. I'm absolutely happy with the match. We have dominated full 90 minutes," the Spaniard said.
Coming from a player of Forlan's stature, the action may have been uncalled for but Mumbai City FC coach Alexandre Guimaraes backed the 2010 World Cup Golden Ball Winner and said he's just 'human'.
