FC Goa equalized twice to stage a comeback and eke out a 3-3 draw with Mumbai City FC in their 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) encounter on Monday. Glan Martins (45'), Igor Angulo (51'), and Ishan Pandita (90+6') were the goalscorers for the Gaurs at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim.
Mumbai City FC broke the deadlock when Edu Bedia conceded possession in the final third, with Hugo Boumous making a 50-yard run before finding the back of the net.
Mumbai City FC's second goal came after Adam Le Fondre nodded the ball home from a corner-kick. The league leaders scored their third when Rowllin Borges connected with Hugo Boumous' free-kick. It was the 14th goal FC Goa conceded from dead-ball situations in the ISL this season.
Revealing his reaction after the match, FC Goa coach Juan Ferrando said:
FC Goa ended the game with a staggering 57% ball possession and four shots on target. However, it was their fifth consecutive draw on the trot.
James Donachie returned to the starting line-up to partner Adil Khan at the heart of FC Goa's defence, while Saviour Gama and Seriton Fernandes were the two full-backs.
Commenting on their performance, Juan Ferrando said:
FC Goa will next face Chennaiyin FC at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on 13th February.
