GOA: FC Goa defeated Mohammedan Sporting 2-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25, on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

The Gaurs have now moved to 48 points in 23 games, winning 14 games and drawing on six instances. They have already qualified for the semi-finals alongside Mohun Bagan Super Giant and will not have to engage in the single-legged eliminator.

Dejan Drazic sparked the maiden breakthrough in the contest when he burst into the final third before pulling off an incredible lateral ball for Ayush Dev Chhetri in the middle of the box through the outside of his right foot. Ayush passed it in Iker Guarrotxena’s path on the right, before he headed the ball into the top right corner in the 40th minute.

An own goal by Padam Chhetri comfortably sealed the game in FC Goa’s favour, but the base of that was laid by Guarrotxena’s robust header from the far post in the 86th minute. Getting to the end of a corner, the attacker displayed fine agility to head the ball towards the post, but the ball took a deflection off the Mohammedan Sporting goalkeeper before landing into the right side of the net.

FC Goa will play their next game Mohun Bagan Super Giant on March 8, whereas Mohammedan SC are set to feature against Punjab FC on March 10.
