Sameehg Doutie's wonder strike was cancelled out by Jofre's penalty
Atletico de Kolkata maintained their unbeaten record against FC Goa in the Hero Indian Super League but were forced to settle for a point in a fiery 1-1 draw at Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, Kolkata, on Sunday. Sameehg Doutie scored a gem of a goal in the sixth minute from a volley to put Atletico de Kolkata ahead but the match then had several twists and turns before Joffre Gonzalez converted a penalty in the 77th minute to give FC Goa a point after both teams were reduced to 10 men. At first, Atletico de Kolkata saw Stephen Pearson being issued the marching orders for a foul on Trindade Goncalves in the 53rd minute but any advantage that FC Goa would have had was negated after Sanjay Balmuchu was sent off nine minutes later for a second bookable offence. The draw left Atletico de Kolkata with six points from four matches, which includes three draws, while FC Goa got their first point from four matches and continue to be placed at the bottom of the league table. With three consecutive losses it was no surprise that FC Goa chief coach Zico decided to ring in the changes. There were five changes for the visitors as Zico preferred to hand starts to the likes of Subashish Roy Choudhury, Gregory Arnolin, Keenan Almeida and Robin Singh, all making their debuts in this edition of the ISL. Atletico de Kolkata also made three changes with Stephen Pearson, Abinash Ruidas and Henrique Sereno handed starts for the first time. The momentum was with FC Goa at the start but it were the hosts who stunned FC Goa with a brilliant goal.WHAT A GOAL BY DOUTIE.@SDoutie showed great technique to give @atletidekolkata an early lead!
