Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium: FC Goa climbed to the third spot in the standings with a 2-1 victory against 10-man Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, on Thursday night.

The Gaurs have gotten to 36 points with their 10th victory in 19 games, steadily producing a bounce back from their disappointing three-match losing streak in February. However, the earlier signs of this match suggested otherwise. Bengaluru FC broke the deadlock within two minutes of kick-off, making a mark straight away from the commencement of the encounter.

It started with a young duo of the visiting Blues unsealing the FC Goa defence in one go, against a backline that has conceded only 18 goals in 19 matches in the current ISL campaign. Suresh Singh Wangjam pulled off a razor-sharp through ball directed towards Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) graduate Chingangbam Shivaldo Singh, with the latter receiving the ball with a sublime first touch and putting the ball past Dheeraj Singh to draw the first blood.
