19′ Jackichand’s shot not lethal enough to beat Subrata on the other side now
18′ Looked like such a casual goal, to be honest. A strike without much noise
17′ Assist Farukh Choudhary
17′ GOOAALLLL!!!! The crowd is silenced. Gurung plays a casual lob towards Farukh who dinks it above Mandar for Castel. The Spaniard takes is down on his chest and calmly places it past Nawaz
16′ Manvir tries to find the top corner but the shot lacked enough curl and dip
14′ Short corner taken by Bedia before whipping it in and Jahouh with a shot from afar a few yards off the mark
13′ Memo continues putting in the long balls while Fall deals with Castel and Jacki earns a corner on the other side
12′ CHANCE! Vineeth with a side volley that flew wide of Nawaz’s right post off Farukh’s cross from the right
11′ Nawaz hoodwinks Farukh again but the forward ball for Manvir by Bedia had too much weight on it
10′ The FC Goa goalkeeper read the danger well and acted aptly. More like a cover-up for his defense, you could say
10′ Nawaz is brave to come off his line and chest the ball outside his area as Memo aimed the lob for Farukh
9′ Jitendra the next one to get into the referee’s books for a foul on Bedia
7′ SAVES! Double saves by Subrata – first from Jackichand’s attempt after Bedia set him up on the right side and a relatively easier save to make from an untamed shot by Lenny off the rebound
5′ Goa were just about passing around well before Jahouh gets himself booked for a rash tackle on Acosta when Jamshedpur looked to counter
4′ Bedia to Mandar on the left. Brandon to aid and Lenny keeps the ball against a challenge from Castel
4′ A wayward lob by Brandon for Mandar breaks the move for the Goans while Pena and Fall appear well-placed for the oppostion’s attacks
1′ FC Goa are without Doungel, Boumous – who are suspended – and Coro for this one. The two-time Golden Boot winner has picked a slight niggle in training. Nothing too serious, though, I am told
1′ Kick-off! We are underway.
