How Did Mohun Bagan vs FC Goa Game Play Out?
Mohun Bagan might be a strong team in the competition, but playing against FC Goa players wasn’t a walk in the park. The game started with opportunities for both sides, but none of them contributed to it.
Greg Stewart and Dimitrios Petratos missed a good opportunity in the 10th minute. Meanwhile, Goa also had a chance, but Guarrotxena missed an easy chance, a kick way off target.
Just before the half time, Manvir Singh hit the ball past the net, only to be ruled out as a handball. But Mohun Bagan was marching ahead to break the deadlock. They scored the introductory goal, but at what cost for FC Goa?
Guarrotxena made Mohun Bagan’s defenders think more than once with quick play, but as luck had it, it was Goa’s error that let Mohun Bagan take advantage.
In the 62nd minute, it was Boris Singh and Hritik Tiwari’s own goal that gave Mohun Bagan the advantage. The second goal for the Mariners came in 90+4 minutes.
When the game was heading towards a 1-0 win, Stewart had other ideas as he passed the ball off Hrithik into the counter-attacking mindset and scored the goal.
This win isn’t any other common win but an opportunity to give more than 62000 fans a reason to cherish.
