In the Match 3 of ISL 2020-21, FC Goa will lock horns against star-studded Bengaluru FC on Sunday. The 2018-19 ISL finalists look to start their season on a winning momentum. FC Goa will be playing under their new head coach Juan Ferrando and they have also bolstered their team with the addition of fresh foreign players. “We would continue to play attacking brand of football, playing the game on the front foot. That is the philosophy of the club and that is what really attracted me to the job. It is aligned with the kind of football I believe in,” Ferrando said ahead of the clash.
On the other hand, Bengaluru who have won the ISL once, would also be hoping for a winning start and the contribution of star striker Sunil Chhetri would be the key. Chhetri will be accompanied by another India’s star player Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who kept the record of 11 clean sheets last season. Bengaluru will enter the games as the favourites against rejuvenated Goa.

FULL-TIME! The match ended in a draw. Igor Angulo turned out to be the hero for FC Goa as he pulled back his team in the second half to level the score with a brace inside two minutes. FC Goa will get a lot of confidence after this game, while Bengaluru FC need to pull up their socks in the tournament, they look a little dull in the attacking tonight despite scoring two goals.

Bengaluru FC are trying hard to score the third goal as Ashique is running everywhere to trouble FC Goa’s defence but he needs some assistance from his teammates here. Meanwhile, FC Goa are looking confident now and putting up a show in defence.
