There were no surprises when FC Goa announced their lineup. The attack was as expected, with Ferran Coro playing behind the striker and Jackichand Singh and Seiminlen Doungel running across the flanks. Manvir Singh, who was mostly a substitute player last season was given a start at the striker position.

Goa's attacking prowess was on display throughout the game against Chennaiyin FC. Ferran Coro played at a vital position creating space upfront. The Spanish forward regularly set up Jackichand Singh and Seiminlen Doungel on the wings. The two speedy midfielders made no mistakes, giving a hard time to Chennaiyin FC's fullbacks.

The trio created a total of six chances between them. One assist from Jackichand Singh and goals from Coro and Doungel only increased their dominance.

When Manvir Singh made use of the opportunity that came his way, FC Goa completely outshined Chennaiyin FC in the attack.

The Indian international was behind one assist and created another crucial chance at the visitor's goal face. Eventually, Manvir justified the coach's trust in him.
