Boris Singh gave the home side the lead 15 minutes into the game, while Brandon Fernandes scored the second ten minutes into the second half. FC Goa were in cruise control at this point, and looked set to finish the game with a strong win.
However, Jayesh Rane came off the bench to become the difference maker and assist Chhangte twice as FC Goa crumbled at home near the end of the game. Now, they will have to find a way to turn things around in Mumbai if they are to make it to the finals of the ISL.
