Coro (P) 81' Goal

Done and dusted.
FC Goa end ATK's hopes of making the top 4 with a comprehensive 3-0 victory. Jackichand Singh struck in the very first minute of the game with Ferran Corominas doubling the lead at the start of the second half.
He then converted a penalty to go clear by one goal off Bartholomew Ogbeche at the top of the ISL goalscoring charts with 13 strikes this season.
Goa climb up to the second spot on the table with this win. That's it from me, Aravind Suchindran. Log onto Sportskeeda for our full coverage of the ISL and I-League. See ya!

90+4' Another silly fight on the pitch and this time, Hugo Boumous is booked for his tiff with Gerson.
Yellow - Hugo Boumous (FC Goa)
And over. PEEEEEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

90+2' OVER THE MOON.
Not his mood, but the shot by FC Goa's Zaid Krouch.

Four minutes added.

89' And then a scuffle breaks out among the players. Precious moments wasted for ATK as Edu Bedia's theatrics after a touch by Balwant Singh sees him down on the ground.
Yellow - Balwant Singh (ATK)

86' Substitution - FC Goa
OFF - Brandon Fernandes
ON - Manvir Singh

84' That will be the last we'll see of Corominas tonight. A fantastic performance by the Spaniard
Substitution - Goa
OFF - Ferran Corominas
ON - Zaid Krouch

83' ATK's season is surely done. Goa are pushing further and aren't satisfied with just the 3 goals.
Coro is caught offside this time.

81' Comfy Coro.
Corominas rounds it up and seals the 3 points for FC Goa.
A calm, confident finish. Runs in, slots it into the bottom-left corner. Arindam has no chance.

79' PENALTY!
Coro goes down after seemingly been tripped inside the box by Ricky.
ATK are furious with the call.

78' BLOCKED!
Arindam keeping ATK in this game.
It was a five-versus-four situation with Jackichand Singh finding Coro free.
Coro dashes it out but Arindam saves.

76' Deflected.
That was almost close.
Coro is sent through with a wonderful pass and he tries to find the bottom-right corner but Arindam gets his fingertips onto it and pushes it out for a corner.

74' SHOT!
Boumous makes his presence felt after coming on for Goa with a long ranger, but it's a little off target. Arindam had it covered anyway.

73' Another ATK player is booked tonight.
Yellow - Ankit Mukherjee (ATK)

71' Substitution - FC Goa
OFF - Ahmed Jahouh
ON - Hugo Boumous

70' Garcia again!
Naveen Kumar stays strong as Edu Garcia fires one from the right, getting to reducing the margin.

67' SHOT!
Edu Garcia wards off Lenny Rodrigues and unleashes a right-footer into the goal. Naveen Kumar tips it over the bar to keep the scoreline intact.
An excellent effort, a fine save.

65' ATK are looking to stage a late comeback in this game. They have to push on the attack because if they lose this match, they fall out of the race for the ISL playoffs.

62' Substitution - ATK
OFF - Hitesh Sharma
ON - Balwant Singh

61' Jayesh Rane looks to cross from the left flank but Seriton Fernandes snatches the ball away from him. Seconds later, Kalu Uche goes down in the box expecting a penalty but there's nothing in it.
Mourtada Fall then heads away a dangerous cross meant for Uche.

57' With that goal, Ferran Corominas goes level with Bartholomew Ogbeche on top of the goalscorers' list this season with 12 strikes. Can he build a lead over the NorthEast United striker?

55' There are 3 people near the ball but Edu Bedia takes the set piece with his left foot and directs it to the left post. Arindam collects.

54' A vicious tackle by Johnson sees get enter the referee's book. It's his fourth yellow of the season, which means he will miss ATK's next match.
Yellow - John Johnson (ATK)

52' IT'S IN!
Goa double their lead and it's Corominas.
FC Goa enjoying the lions' share of possession. Coro starts the move, passes it Mandar at the edge of the box. Mandar fires at goal from far, Arindam blocks it but off the rebound, Corominas rushes in and slots it past the ATK goal.
Edu Bedia was offside but he doesn't interfere with the play and the goal stands.

46' We're underway!
And just like the beginning of the first-half, FC Goa threaten.
This time, they couldn't get a goal as Edu Bedia's flick goes just wide off that cross from Mandar.

What can happen in a minute, you ask? Well, FC Goa needed just a minute, less than that, to take the lead in their crunch fixture against ATK.
Jackichand Singh scores a goal off his first touch of the ball to peg ATK back. Goa would be ruing themselves for not scoring more goals in this first 45, while ATK have hardly threatened.
Can ATK crawl back into this game in the second half?

45+2' SHOT!
Ahmed Jahouh tries his luck from distance and misses the post by a few yards! And that will be all in the first half.

45+1' Right place, right time!
Carlos Pen intercepts a cross by Janesh Rane, which was heading for Kalu Uche.

Two minutes added.

43' Bikey's first action - conceding a foul.
And after that, Goa push further in what's left of this first half.

42' Substitution - ATK.
OFF - Everton Santos (Injured)
ON - Andre Bikey

41' BLOCK!
Corominas receives a cut-back from Seriton Fernandes, turns and takes a poke at the near post with his left foot.
Arindam gets his left hand to it and makes a fantastic save.

40' Mourtada Fall with a sloppy foul on Jayesh Rane, enters the referee's book.
Yellow - Mourtada Fall (FC Goa)

39' Pairing up.
Ferran Corominas and Jackichand Singh, the goalscorer for FC Goa, combine well on the right.
Jackichand lays it up for Coro, who moves back to get a shot in but it's deflected out for a corner.

35' Everton Santos tries to shield the ball from Lenny Rodrigues but ends up taking a knock on his ankle. Both Bedia and Everton Santos need treatment.

34' John Johnson involved in the thick of things and Edu Bedia goes down twice. But there's no call of a foul from the referee.

24' Arnab Mondal drags his foot out to harshly stop Corominas. Edu Bedia asks the ref to pull out the yellow but Mondal makes a case for himself and escapes booking saying it's only his first foul of the game.

20' SAVED!
Corominas delightfully controls a lob on the right and runs into the box with his marker. The angle gets tight and Brandon Fernandes doesn't really get near the far post. Coro decides to go for it but Arindam stands tall.

18' FLAG'S UP!
Seriton Fernandes tricks Ricky and chips it over the ATK defence to Corominas, but the Goan striker is caught offside.
Pritam Kotal had rushed in to head it out anyway.

16' First corner for ATK.
Edu Garcia's take is headed away by Mourtada Fall.
It's the closest ATK have gotten the ball near the goal so far.

13' ALMOST 2-0!
Mandar, after a poor cross, zigzags his way past Pritam Kotal and plays it to Corominas at the centre.
Coro tries to deflect it home and beats the keeper with his deft touch but it's just wide!

8' CHANCE!
Mandar Rao Dessai chases a ball that's lifted over the ATK midfielders. He powers in confidently and finds Brandon Fernandes to his right side.
Brandon takes a touch to set himself up but before he could go for goal, ATK defenders whip it away.

7' If the scoreline stays this way or if FC Goa manage 3 points from this match, then ATK will no longer be in the contention for a spot in the ISL playoffs. And given the way Goa are confidently handling the ball, it appears Goa will finish the job.

3' FC Goa look unstoppable. They test the goalkeeper twice more with Ahmed Jahouh firing from distance, which Arindam collects.

1' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLL!
Goa take the lead. Ferran Corominas on the right flank, surges in, cuts it back for Jackichand Singh, who fires it home to send the crowd into a frenzy.
That goal was probably timed at 56 seconds.

1' Kick-off!
And what a start!

National Anthem done!
And we wait for the kick-off.

Leaving it for the second half.
Goa have scored as many as 17 goals after the break, the most by any teams this season. Almost 60 per cent of their goals have come after the 45th minute.
ATK have just 5 goals in the second half, the lowest scored by any team.

Opposites attract.
FC Goa, who have scored the most number of goals this season at 29, face ATK, who have scored the least at 15. However, in the last 3 games, ATK's shots per goal ratio is 6.80, the best in the league.

Team news:
Edu Garcia comes in for Hugo Boumous.
Kalu Uche is back in the Playing XI and so is Hitesh Sharma. Manuel Lanzarote not in the squad. Pronay Halder left out.

Line-ups:

FC Goa Playing XI: Naveen Kumar, Seriton Fernandes, Mourtada Fall, Carlos Pena, Mandar Rao Dessai, Lenny Rodrigues, Ahmed Jahouh, Brandon Fernandes, Jackichand Singh, Edu Bedia, Ferran Corominas

Substitutes: Laxmikant Kattimani, Chinglensana Singh, Mohamed Ali, Hugo boumous, Pratesh Shirodkar, Zaid Krouch, Manvir Singh

Line-ups:

Substitutes: Debjit Majumder, Aiborlang Khongjee, Andre Bikey, Ankit Mukherjee, Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Komal Thatal, Balwant Singh

Adding to that, Edu Bedia has also played against Lanzarote during the former's time with Hercules CF in the LaLiga Segunda Division's 2012/13 season. They will be in rival camps again in tonight's Goa v ATK ISL Live game.

In the same 2011/12 season, Carlos Pena, FC Goa defender, faced off against Manuel Lanzarote when Real Valladolid took on Sabadell.

Did you know?
Goa striker Ferran Corominas played against ATK's Manuel Lanzarote during Girona FC's LaLiga Segunda Division game in the 2011/12 season against CE Sabadell. Last season, these two were teammates at FC Goa.

Edu Garcia, since returning to the ISL, has scored twice and assisted two times for ATK in 3 games. He has made 3 goal contributions already. He has the joint most number of goal attempts (8 shots, 4 on target) by any ATK player with Manuel Lanzarote.
Will he be the difference during the Goa v ATK ISL Live match?

Set-piece king Lanza.
ATK have scored 8 of their 15 goals from set-pieces with captain Manuel Lanzarote playing a vital role in getting these. Lanzarote struck 2 against Jamshedpur FC last week, securing ATK 3 points.
Will he make the difference again in the Goa v ATK ISL Live game tonight?

Cross-fit.
Even off crosses, FC Goa have managed to find the back of the net 12 times. ATK have two able defenders in John Johnson and Andre Bikey to handle this threat.
Can Goa get the better of them in the Goa v ATK ISL Live game?

Open for play.
24 of 29 goals scored by FC Goa have come from open play, the highest in the league. ATK, on the other hand, have scored only seven goals from open play, the lowest in the league.

Knockout punch?
A loss to FC Goa will leave ATK out of the contention for a spot in the playoffs. NorthEast United's win over Mumbai City saw them climb up to the second spot with 27 points, the same as Mumbai City. If Goa win tonight, they will go up to 28 points, which will knock ATK, currently on 21 points in 15 games, out.

Probable Line-ups:

FC Goa: Naveen Kumar (GK), Mourtada Fall, Seriton Fernandes, Carlos Pena, Mandar Rao Dessai (C), Ahmed Jahouh, Lenny Rodrigues, Hugo Boumous, Brandon Fernandes, Jackichand Singh, Ferran Corominas

ATK: Arindam Bhattacharja (GK), Gerson Vieira, John Johnson, Arnab Mondal, Ricky Lallawmawma, Pronay Halder, Pritam Kotal, Edu Garcia, Jayesh Rane, Manuel Lanzarote (C), Everton Santos

Goa vs ATK ISL Live game Preview:

The famed FC Goa attack will face its biggest test against the defensively solid ATK at the Fatorda Stadium on Thursday.

Goa need to get back to winning ways to cement their spot in the ISL semifinals. ATK similarly need 3 points to stay alive in the playoff race.

FC Goa are on 25 points in 14 games but have a game in hand to NorthEast United.
ATK, on the other hand, are on 21 in 15 games and a win will take them closer to the top 4.

Goa strangely have had 2 goalless draws in their recent games against Jamshedpur and Delhi Dynamos. But they managed a 2-0 win over Mumbai City FC with Edu Bedia and Ferran Corominas finding the back of the net.

Corominas, a golden boot contender with 11 goals, will hope to reignite that spark to help Goa past ATK, who haven't lost in 3 games.

Since Edu Garcia joined ATK, Steve Coppell's side have drawn 2 games and won once. Garcia has 2 goal in 3 games and is not an easy opponent to handle for a defender.

ATK captain Manuel Lanzarote too has been in good form. His combination with Garcia is working wonders for ATK. In the 2-1 win over Jamshedpur FC, Garcia won ATK two free-kicks and Lanzarote confidently slotted them past Subrata Paul to take the 3 points.

Lanzarote and Garcia are lighting up the attack but ATK need better finishing touch from their star forward Kalu Uche. The Nigerian returned to ATK from injury in the match against Kerala Blasters, had some fitness concerns against Jamshedpur but was back in the line-up against FC Pune City.

Jayesh Rane scored a stunning goal but he needs to show more consistency for ATK. John Johnson was unfortunate to deflect the ball into his own net but the experienced English defender would have learnt from his mistakes.

Uche needs to fire up front for ATK to see them through to the ISL semifinals. On the other hand, Goa need to carefully handle the threat posed by the in-form attack force of ATK.

When and where to watch: The Live Streaming of the Goa v ATK ISL live game will be available on Hotstar. TV Telecast on Star Sports Network. The kick-off is at 7.30 pm IST.
