Indian Super League: Bengaluru FC were subject to their first defeat of the 2024-25 Indian Super League campaign as FC Goa rode on second-half strikes from Armando Sadiku, Brison Fernandes and Dejan Drazic to clinch a 3-0 win at the JN Stadium, in Fatorda, on Saturday.

The result kept the Blues in first place, while the hosts climbed up to fifth place with only their second win of the season.

Both teams looked aggressive from the get-go as Goa threw numbers in the box, while the BFC players crowded the midfield regions. Bengaluru soaked up the early pressure, as Goa made use of Drazic’s creativity on the wings to create inroads. Rahul Bheke blocked Sadiku’s early effort, while Aakash Sangwan and Boris Singh Thangjam tested the Blues’ defence with crosses from either flank.
