Margao (Goa), Feb 21: FC Goa stayed in the race for the Indian Super League (ISL) playoffs with a 2-1 win over Bengaluru FC on Sunday at the Fatorda Stadium on Sunday. The result ends Bengaluru FC’s slim chances of finishing in the top four.
Goa took a quickfire lead through Igor Angulo in the 20th minute and Redeem Tlang in the 23rd minute before Suresh Wangjam in the 33rd minute cut short Bengaluru’s deficit.
With the result, Goa not only consolidated their spot in the top four but are also now unbeaten in 12 games — matching their own record between 2014 and 2015 and Mumbai City’s 12-game run this season.
Bengaluru started the game brightly but a lapse in concentration from them saw FC Goa break the deadlock.
Glan Martins dispossessed Erik Paartalu just outside the box before finding Angulo.
The striker made his way into the box before burying his shot at the far post, leaving Bengaluru goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu with no chance. (IANS)
