FC Goa struck twice late in the game to eke out a thrilling 3-2 victory over Delhi Dynamos in an Indian Super League encounter here on Thursday.
Bikramjit Singh’s long-range strike put the visitors in the lead as early as the sixth minute. It took almost 50 minutes and a change of ends for Goa to find the equalizer through Edu Bedia in the 54th minute.
However, Delhi breached the host defence to go 2-1 up with a Lallianzuala Chhangte’s goal in 70th minute. However, Brandon Fernandes and Edu found the back of the net in the 82nd and 89th minute respectively to log full points for Goa.
Dynamos drew first blood when Bikramjit received Adria Carmona’s pass on the edge of the box and curled in a magnificent shot into the top left corner, leaving custodian Mohammad Nawaz helpless.
In the 54th minute, an excellent build-up saw Corominas release Mandar Rao Dessai into open space on the left flank and the Indian winger’s perfect cross into the centre was slotted home by Edu.
Mihelic’s cross into the box was backheeled into the path of Lallianzuala Chhangte by Nandhakumar from the byline. The young winger made no mistake from close-range to put the visitors ahead in the 70th minute.
Lobera’s response was to bring on Brandon in place of Jackichand and the substitute pulled the hosts level in the 82nd minute.
