FC Goa jumped to the second place in the leag♔ue table with 30 points from 16 games, six behind leaders ꦰMohun Bagan, who are sitting pretty at the top with 36 points.
Lal Chungnu𒊎nga ensured that East Bengal FC were on the assertive upfront, setting up a sharp delivery for Vishnu Puthiya outside the box, which♐ the latter shot firmly, but off target to the right in the third minute.
Immediately aft𓆉erwards, FC Goa embarked on the attack, pushing numbers ahead to overwhelm the visitors in their box, resulting in Odei Onaindia attempting a left-footed shot, which was blocked in time though.
As FC Goa kept creating a spate of opportunities, Hi🙈jazi Maher conceded a corner to thwart an offen🍒sive move by the Gaurs.
However, the set-piece yielded the needed outcome for the Gaurs, as Borja Herrera pi🐠cked the ball on the right flank and curled in a cross for Fernandes, who headed the ball into the middle of the net from the centre of the box in the 13th min🤪ute.
Seven minutes later, Richard Celis tested hi🦹s luck from considerable distance upon receiving a ball from Dimitrios Diamantak✨os.
His righ♈t-footed effort on the left was too high to the tar꧋get though.
East Bengal FC weren't far off in trying out opportunities from ꦬoutside of the box either.
Jeakson Singh made one such move in the 37th minute, and though the delivery had enough p✃ower behind it, the ball missed the top right corner by a whisker.
