Welcome to Sportstar’s ISL 2020-21 live blog about today’s match between Mumbai City FC and FC Goa in the GMC stadium in Bambolim.
FC Goa coach Juan Ferrando: It was an excellent game. Two teams tried to play football and had very good players on the field. In my opinion we have problems with transitions. In terms of character and personality, we are the best team in the ISL. This team never surrendered and always wants the three points. This is the most important aspect for me.
We have just heard that Hugo Boumous showed a red card for rejecting the Goa goal. He will miss the upcoming game against Chennaiyin FC and commentators suggest that he could face further disciplinary action if he doesn’t leave the field.
This is a facility that always lives up to the hype. Goa FC made phenomenal returns three times to score a hard-fought 3-3 draw with Mumbai City FC. The result shows that Goa FC advance to 23 points and climb to third place, while Mumbai City is four points ahead at the front.
Mumbai City scored the header thanks to a goal from Hugo Boumous in the 20th minute , followed by Adam Le Fondre’s header six minutes later.
Glan Martins scored a breathtaking long shot just before half-time, a sure contender for the goal of the season to breathe new life into the Gaurs. Goa FC began the second half with renewed vigor when Angulo equalized in the 51st minute.
It seemed that the two teams would split the points until Rowllin gave Mumbai the lead with a 90th-minute header. The action was far from over when substitute Ishan Pandita found the back of the net in the final game to ensure Goa FC took at least one point away. The result shows that Mumbai City is the first team to qualify for the play-offs.
90 5 ‘ISHAN PANDITA RESULTS FOR FC GOA DEEP INTO STOP TIME! Edu Bedia whips in a fantastic ball and Pandita, who came on just a few minutes ago, scores with a nice header after the last game of the game.
90 5 ‘Vikram is in the thick of it when he attacks Jackichand’s cross, but in the end stuck. In the meantime, Boumous will be shown a yellow card.
90 ‘ROWLLIN BORGES SCORESSSSSS! Boumous’ rolls the free kick into the far post and Rowllin rolls the ball, completely unmarked, into the net. Dheeraj can’t handle this and Rowllin makes up for his earlier miss by scoring the goal that could win the match. Five minutes to add.
90 ‘Free kick from a very dangerous spot! Seriton fouled Bipin and Boumous will take the free kick.
88 ‘Mumbai City brace – Raynier and Le Fondre for Jackichand Singh and Bartholomew Ogbeche. Ogbeche makes his 50th appearance at the ISL.
87 ‘The referee gets in the way and unwittingly blocks Gonzalez on the ball at the edge of the penalty area. It’ll be a drop ball.

83 ‘Another Mumbai City coach has received a yellow card. This time it’s Indian assistant coach Anthony.

64 ‘Great job by Seriton. Boumous sets up the box for Bipin, but Seriton disrupts his body to prevent the chance.
59 ‘This is a bad duel from the fall. He rattles against Noguera from behind and the referee has no choice but to book him for it. When FC Goa equalized, tempers now fly with frequent fouls that disrupt the flow of the game.
57 ‘Seriton’s hand catches Boumous in the face and goes into the umpire’s book. Mumbai City’s assistant coach Jesus Tato is also booked for his behavior on the contact line.
56 ‘Rowllin ….. that was close! He clings to a loose ball and hits it on the run, but cannot keep it on target. Boumous has a chance a minute later, but he too shoots it past the bar.
53 ‘A half-time shot by Juan Ferrando seems to have really spurred the Gaurs as they have completely dominated the process since the restart.

FC Goa seemed to have problems in the final period, but Martins’ goal at halftime won the Gaurs breathed new life. An exciting second 45 awaits you!
45 ‘MAAAAAAARTINS! An absolute screamer brings FC GOA back into the game. Martins has you ripped off the edge of the box and bursts the back of the net in a sublime way. Amrinder, who leads the race for the Golden Glove, couldn’t do anything to keep the rammers off strike.
44 ‘A shot from Ameip (Mumbai) ends with a shot from Panipa from 15 meters.
43 ‘A shot by FC Goa (FC Goa).

36 ‘Adil is cautioned. Le Fondre strides to the goal, but Adil pulls him out with a strong block and then flashes the yellow card to the referee.
34 ‘Breathtaking parade for Amrinder! Seriton’s cross from the right finds Angulo and the Spaniard nods towards the bottom corner, only Amrinder makes a fantastic save.
33 ‘Mumbai City have scored their first goal nine times this season and won eight of those games. A Herculean task for FC Goa!

Savor tried his best, but Boumous could not be caught.

Two teams that dominate most of the stats in the Indian Super League (ISL) compete against each other when Mumbai City FC will face FC Goa on Monday at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim. Mumbai and Goa rank first and second on most metrics, except on the table, where the latter comes in fifth, a full eleven points behind. Sergio Lobera got his side to play the ball again throughout the season, an aspect that was only improved on by Juan Ferrando, the man who replaced him as Goa coach. Goa’s 59 percent possession and 489 passes per game are the highest such numbers in the league, with Mumbai’s 56 percent possession and 486 passes per game just behind. Mumbai has the best pass accuracy in the league (75.71%) while Goa ranks second with 74.04%.

We think about ourselves and try to improve some things. As always, it’s important to know some details about the playoffs. » Opponent. « » But the most important thing for me as a coach is when my team plays 100%. I am very confident and positive that we will get the three points tomorrow, « he added. Goa is in the middle of a group of teams battling for the final two playoff slots. Ferrando knows any slip-up will be at this stage Team will cost a lot of money. But he refused to admit that it would be his team that would be under more pressure. « For Goa we are under pressure in every game because we want to improve and get three points in every game » he said. « Maybe Mumbai has more pressure because of its budget. His team should be ready to win the championship. The most important thing for us is to improve, play well, prepare a good plan (against our opponents) and get the three points. « » Although Mumbai is the team with the highest score this season, Goa’s goal has from Igor Angulo increased his record to 10 for the season last week, and against him will be the current championship leader for the Golden Glove Award in Amrinder Singh. « In Mumbai City, which has collected the most yellow cards this season, anyone can im Squad, much to the content of Lobera, who has vowed to work on the disciplinary aspect.
