An hour into the game there were doubts starting to creep in. That sense of dullness and all those doubts, though, were lifted in the 70th minute as FC Goa scored the opener thanks to an own goal as Komorski turned a dangerous cross from Jackichand Singh on the right into his own goal.

An 84th minute strike condemned FC Goa to their first defeat in five games in the ISL 2019-20. After dominating the first half, the Gaurs fell back at the hour mark to hit back within two minutes but an unfortunate series of deflections helped Bengaluru claw back to within two points of the Gaurs.

In what promises to be a battle between two of the most entertaining side’s in the League in the recent past, Bengaluru have come out on top in four of the last five meetings, managing to successfully control a Goa side that has been consistently lethal in attack.

Moroccan international Ahmed Jahouh, who was extremely excited after scoring his first-ever goal for FC Goa on Thursday, December 26, dedicated the special goal to the fans of the club. Goa pulled off a 4-3 win against the home team, Chennayin FC, at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium.
