Bengaluru FC Vs FC Goa 2023: After defeating FC Goa 3-1 on Thursday in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru FC made it eight wins in a row and secured a spot in the top four. Pablo Perez came on to score the third goal for the Blues, who ended the Gaurs’ playoff push and confirmed Odisha FC’s entry as the sixth and final playoff team. Sivasakthi Narayanan scored two more goals to complete his season. The hosts won three corners in a row in the first five minutes of the match and took the lead with the third. Roshan Naorem curled the ball into the box for the third time, and Narayanan headed it in from close range, unmarked, to give the hosts an early lead.
To remain alive in the tournament, FC Goa needed only to win. A cross from the left flank by Noah Sadaoui took a few deflections before reaching Redeem Tlang less than five minutes into the first half. The winger shot from a tight angle, but Gurpreet Singh Sandhu stopped it at the near post. Minutes later, Gurpreet denied Tlang again, this time from 25 yards out. Dheeraj Moirangthem saved Sunil Chhetri’s goal from Naorem’s free kick at the opposing end of the field.
Bengaluru FC Vs FC Goa 2023
After a 1-3 defeat to Bengaluru FC (BFC) in their Indian Super League (ISL) match on Thursday, Goa’s hopes of qualifying for the playoffs were severely dented. When BFC scored a contentious second goal, FC Goa, which needed to win this final league stage match to advance to the next round, was defeated. N. Sivasakthi converted a rebound into a goal, but replays showed that the striker was in the wrong spot.
The goal was awarded to BFC despite strong protests from FC Goa players and coaches. Edu Badia and Noah Wail of FC Goa yelled at the referee, and Gorka Azkorra, the assistant coach, was shown a red card for his persistent protest. FC Goa, which had the momentum up until that point, was completely sunk by the goal. A well-placed strike from BFC substitute Pablo Perez ended FC Goa’s misery a few minutes later.
