Full-time report: FC Goa staged a comeback to defeat Delhi Dynamos 3-2 at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa in a five-match thriller.
Goa scored two late goals to first get on level terms and then ahead in a game in which Delhi took the lead twice.
The first goal came in the sixth-minute from Bikramjiti Singh who pulled the trigger from outside the box and despite the goalkeeper diving, the ball flew into the left bottom corner.
Goa had the chance to level the scores in the 24th minute when a dangerous ball was played to Jaki Chand on the left wing and he tried to slide a finish but could only hit the side-netting.
Seven minutes later, Delhi had the chance to make it 2-0 when Tebar almost got at the end of a free-kick with nobody marking him but he missed his chance.
Goa started the second half strongly and had their reward in the 54th minute when Edu Bedia scored from a Mandar Desai cut-back inside the box.
Delhi had the chance to again go ahead in the game when, in the 67th minute, Mihelic laid the ball off for Daniel inside the box who only has the goalkeeper to beat but he blazed it wide. However, just three minutes later, Delhi did score. The goal came when Mihelic, from the left, floated a lovely into the far post where Sekar controlled it brilliantly, went to the opposite post and laid it back for Chhangte who was at the right place at the right time and only had to pass the ball onto the net to make the scoreline 2-1 in their favour.
But Miguel Fernandez put Goa on level terms in the 82nd minute when struck a bending ball a little out from the left edge of the box and beat Dorronsoro at the near post. Goa piled further misery on Delhi in the 90th minute as Edu Bedia scored his second of the game when Goa got a free kick in Delhi half and the ball was floated into the mix where Edu Bedia rose up and headed the ball over the goalkeeper to make it 3-2. Although the replay showed Bedia might have been offside but the goal was already given condemning Dynamos to another defeat from a commanding position.
The win sends Goa to the top of the table with 13 points from six games while Delhi Dynamos languish at the ninth spot with four points from eight games.
