FC Goa Head Coach Juan Ferrando Fenoll too spoke about this important match. He said, “The truth is that we are not thinking about the next round, we are thinking about playing against Sudeva. Sudeva will be a difficult team to play against, it is a professional team. For us, it is important to put attention for 90 mins, try to do a good game and earn 3 points. This is our target.”

He also added, “Tomorrow will be more difficult. Sudeva lost the last game by only 1-0. They have very good players and are a good team. They have pressure to get their first three points and hence will be more difficult.”

The top two teams from each group will qualify for the quarter-finals scheduled to kick-off from September 23, 2021.
