The hosts managed to create better chances from there on and grew in the game with time but Goa defended well to offer very few chances to the hosts to breach their fort, until Isak Vanlalruatfela was tripped a few yards outside the area towards the end of first half. However, playing the last 25 minutes with a man down, Odisha will be relieved to not return empty handed from the home game as Goa failed to take full advantage of the situation. Goa, on the other hand, made their position a bit stronger with the point from the match which helped them climb a rung to fourth above former champions ATK Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC.

However, a lack of bite in the final third in the following minutes prevented them from coming back with all three points. Following the change of ends, FC Goa did well to threaten Odisha FC’s defence with much regularity. Eventually, in the 43rd minute, Mauricio’s attempt from a direct free-kick just outside the Goa box beat Dheeraj Singh and found the back of the net.

With no major attacking push coming from FC Goa, the home side made a spate of positive-minded substitutions in the 81st minute, shortly after Amrinder had made a crucial save as Hernan Santana’s shot came through a crowded penalty box. FC Goa nearly went back into the lead before the end of the half, with Sadaoui and Vazquez switching roles on this occasion. In the next minute, Nandhakumar Sekar put in a perfectly weighted cross that found Saul Crespo’s powerful header, only for Dheeraj to pounce to his right and save. Mauricio stepped up to take the resulting free-kick and powered a curler that was too much for Dheeraj Singh leaping to his right. Odisha FC’s defence was spread out and tracking back as the forward found time to compose himself and drive the ball past Amrinder’s left hand.

It was a very intense match between the two teams. Both sides attacked quite a bit and tackles were also put in.

FC Goa, in a bid to honour their fans, have made historical slashes in ticket prices ahead of their last two home matches for the league stage.

With Carlos Pena’s boys currently in fourth place and pushing hard for a playoff spot, the results in their upcoming matches are crucial for them to qualify for the next stage of the competition. There’s nothing that I’d love more than their continued support and presence at the stadium, as we head towards the most important final part of our league campaign,” he further added. I hope the reduced prices will help them watch their favourites and be part of the last few crucial games,” FC Goa head coach Carlos Pena said.
