Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Jamshedpur FC came from behind to notch a 2-1 win over FC Goa at the Fatorda Stadium in their first match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season on Tuesday night. Trailing 1-0 until the 74th minute of the game, a goal apiece by Javier Siverio and Jordan Murray ensured that the Red Miners bagged three points on the road.

Despite their frontline stepping up when needed, it was Jamshedpur FC goalkeeper Albino Gomes who kept them competitive in the proceedings right from the start. FC Goa players Armando Sadiku and Carl McHugh tested Gomes with long-range efforts in either half. However, using his tall frame to his advantage, the custodian kept them at bay with a solid performance.

Sadiku did manage to slot the ball into the back of the net in the added time of the first half though. Midfielder Rowllin Borges drove the ball ahead and laid up a straightforward pass for the striker with seconds to go before the half-time whistle blew. Sadiku, who joined the Gaurs in the summer from Mohun Bagan Super Giant, grabbed the opportunity and showed tremendous efficiency in thundering the ball past Gomes to give FC Goa the lead.
