GOA: FC Goa defeated East Bengal FC 1-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25, on January 19, 2025.

The Gaurs moved to the second spot in the points table with their eighth victory of the season, having 30 points to their name from 16 matches now.

Brison Fernandes’ sixth goal of this ISL campaign proved enough for the home team to clinch the triumph, in a game where they took three shots on target, as opposed to the six of East Bengal.

As FC Goa kept creating a spate of opportunities, Hijazi Maher conceded a corner to thwart an offensive move by the Gaurs. However, the set-piece yielded the needed outcome for the Gaurs, as Borja Herrera picked the ball on the right flank and curled in a cross for Brison Fernandes, who headed the ball into the middle of the net from the centre of the box in the 13th minute.

FC Goa will play their next game against Chennaiyin FC on January 25. East Bengal FC are set to face Kerala Blasters FC on January 24.
