FC Goa climbed to fourth on the ISL table after a 1-0 win over Odisha FC at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on Saturday. Igor Angulo scored the only goal of the game.
The second half was more interesting than the first with Odisha FC pushing for an equalizer. Goa too had a few goal-scoring opportunities but were left frustrated by Arshdeep, who produced a stunning double save in the half.
The result means Odisha are winless in five ISL games and need to step up their game when they face a tough Bengaluru FC next up. On the other hand, FC Goa will come up against ATK Mohun Bagan in what is expected to be an enthralling affair.
Here is how players from both teams fared today in this close ISL match.
