Goa Break Jamshedpur’s Defence

Until the final, Jamshedpur FC had not conceded a single goal. However, FC Goa broke that record with their attacking play. They passed the ball well and created constant pressure.

In the 23rd minute, Sangwan sprinted down the left. He shot powerfully at goal. Although Albino Gomes stopped the first shot, Borja Herrera reacted quickly. His first attempt was blocked, but he calmly scored with the second.

Jamshedpur Struggle to Respond

Later in the first half, Jamshedpur got close. Lazar Ćirković’s header hit the crossbar. Still, they failed to build more attacks. Then, in the 51st minute, Goa struck again. Borja carried the ball from midfield. He fired a stunning 25-yard shot into the top corner. The goalkeeper had no chance.

Goa Finish Strong
