FCG 2 - NEUFC 0 | FC Goa vs NorthEast United FC - Live Football Score, Match 54 - Summary

A battle of equals on paper. A battle between an in-form and a struggling opposition in the field. That's how one could best define FC Goa vs NorthEast United ISL 6 encounter at the Fatorda Stadium. NorthEast United have failed to win a single game at the Fatorda in last 5 seasons on the Indian Super League. They have also come out victorious only twice in 11 past meetings against FC Goa. But matches between these two have always seen goals, end-to-end action and heat moments between players.

Both sides came with a point each when FC Goa and NorthEast United met earlier in ISL 6 with FC Goa needing Manvir Singh to fire in an injury-time header to steal  a point off the Highlanders after they were reduced to  10-man. Seminlen Doungel saw a red card for an off-the-ball incident, minutes into extra-time. Three players, two from FC Goa, were also suspended for three matches each for the incident which involved coaches and support staff of both teams.

 
Probable line-ups:

FC Goa: Mohammad Nawaz (GK), Carlos Pena, Seriton Fernandes, Mourtada Fall, Mandar Rao Dessai, Lenny Rodrigues, Jackichand Singh, Brandon Fernandes, Ahmed Jahouh, Hugo Boumous, Ferran Corominas.

NorthEast United FC: Pawan Kumar (GK), Rakesh Pradhan, Mislav Komorski, Reagan Singh, Heerings Kai, Jose Leudo, Redeem Tlang, Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Lalengmawia, Martin Chaves, Asamoah Gyan.
