ISL 2024-25: Borja Herrera’s Late Goal Helps FC Goa Rescue A Point Against NorthEast United FC

NorthEast United FC: NorthEast United FC shared the spoils with FC Goa in a scintillating 3-3 draw in the Matchweek 4 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 campaign at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa on Friday. Both teams went hammer and tongs with their respective frontline while the defenders had a tough day in the office. NorthEast United FC believed they had three points in the bag until Borja Herrera came up with a late stoppage-time goal to split the pie.

The Highlanders started the game on the front foot courtesy of their extremely flexible attack, with Jithin M.S., Alaeddine Ajaraie, and Nestor Albiach all interchanging positions. They were rewarded for the bright start as Nestor ran into the FC Goa penalty box like a hot knife through butter before nestling the ball into the back of the net in the sixth minute. He dazzled his way past a crowd of Goan defenders before beating Laxmikant Kattimani in goal.

The Gaurs were caught off guard by the pace and trickery of NorthEast United’s frontline as Ajaraie almost doubled the lead within three minutes of their first goal. Minutes later, Goa had a loud appeal for a penalty as Armando Sadiku went down in the box following a shirt tug by Michel Zabaco but the referee was completely disinterested.
