Goa, Nov 6: FC Goa registered back-to-back wins at home as they edged past Punjab FC by 2-1 at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season tonight.
Asmir Suljic handed Punjab FC the early lead before the likes of Armando Sadiku and Iker Guarrotxena registered their names on the scoresheet for FC Goa to secure their third win of the ongoing season.
The visitors took the early initiative in the game with Suljic netting in back-to-back games. Despite a few personnel changes, Panagiotis Dilmperis’ men were quickly off the blocks.
They were rewarded for their persistent attacks when Asmir Suljic scored in the 13th minute. It was an excellent cross from Nihal Sudheesh, who lost Boris Singh on the left flank before drilling in a low cross. It was intended towards Luka Majcen, who left it for the onrushing Suljic which surprised the FC Goa backline.
The Bosnian made no mistake in recording the first strike of the night.
The Gaurs showed great retaliation to the early goal. Their urgency to equalise increased as they pushed bodies forward to support Sadiku. They came close to scoring a couple of times before it all worked out in the 22nd minute when Ayush Chhetri and Sahil Tavora worked out off a tight space in midfield before the latter played it to Iker Guarrotxena in an advanced position. The Spaniard delivered a deft pass to play Sadiku through on goal. (Agencies)
