FC Goa score a late equaliser to snatch a point away from the Highlanders
Northeast United and FC Goa played out a brilliant game of football at the Fatorda, as both teams salvaged a point each after quite an entertaining game in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Friday.
The Highlanders took an early lead, which was canceled out via Armando Sadiku’s strike at the brink of half-time. In the second half, FC Goa struck early but were hit with two quick goals by NorthEast United to retake the lead.
In the added time though, Borja came clutch for his team and scored a brilliant goal to get his team a point.
Here are the ratings from the game.
FC Goa (By Keshava Verma)
Lakshmikant Kattimani – 6.0
Had a poor night in goal as he conceded three goals, one of them being the result of his poor positioning, and failed to make an impact for his team.
Nim Dorjee – 6.5
Despite some moments of defensive brilliance, Nim Dorjee lacked his usual sharpness and was caught lacking by NorthEast United.
Akash Sangwan – 6.0
Made an error in the buildup to NorthEast’s first goal, and could not stop the likes of Nestor Albiach and Alaeddine Ajaraie from impeding Goa’s backline.
Udanta Singh – 6.5
Udanta had a difficult night trying to contain the Highlanders’ attack. Was quite impactful with his attacking contributions, however, creating openings on several occasions.
Sahil Tavora – 6.0
Tavora had a poor display in midfield and failed to create an impact in the middle of the park. Some of his forward passes, however, were quite accurate and precise.
Ayush Chhetri – 7.0
Had an assist to his name and put up a decent performance in the front for his team. His creativity and quick thinking helped Goa salvage a point from the game.
Boris Singh – 7.0
Boris had a busy night in the wings and worked very hard to create decent openings for his team.
Substitutions
Jay Gupta – 6.5
Played for about 30 minutes, had good involvement in the game, and did well to create pressure for the NorthEast United defense towards the end of the game.
Rowlin Borges – 6.5
Was impactful in midfield after coming on, and was also involved in FC Goa’s late equaliser.
NorthEast United (By Parashar Kalita)
Gurmeet Singh – 6.0
Gurmeet made a crucial fingertip save in the 74th minute, which was his highlight of the night. During the penalty, the custodian guessed the correct side to dive, but the shot was too powerful. His ball collection was good, and he made some good punches throughout the game but he couldn’t do anything for FC Goa’s second and third goals.
Asheer Akhtar – 6.5
The Indian centre-back held his defensive ground and made several 3 clearances, including headed ones. Akhtar also had four crucial interception to his name.
Muthu Mayakkannan – 6.0
Lost all his duels in the first half. However, he improved his performance in the second half. He made four clearances and two interceptions.
Robin Yadav – 5.0
He made it to the starting lineup for the first time. His pass from midfield found Nestor, who, with a brilliant run, netted the first goal of the match. However, he failed to close down Drazic, which resulted in Bemammer conceding a penalty in the 45th minute of the first half.
Despite this, his pressing created the chance for the Highlanders’ third goal. He was sent off in the 90+6 minute for an unnecessary challenge.
Jithin MS – 6.5
Jithin MS, continued with his hard work on-field once again. He made a crucial contribution to the second goal, where his pass found Alaeddine, who assisted Nestor for the finish. His influence in the first half was minimal.
Thoi Singh – 5.0
Thoi Singh was non-impactful throughout the match. Most of the time, he lost the duels, and his dribble attempts were unsuccessful. He lost the ball in his own half, leading to Goa’s scoring their second goal. He was substituted in the 58th minute.
Buanthanglun Samte – 6.0
It was a good day for the left-back, who faced a lot of attacks from the Gaurs. He made four clearances and two crucial interceptions.
Substitutes:
Redeem Tlang – 5.0
After his substitution, he created a chance for Alaeddine Ajaraie but wasn’t under the spotlight too much.
Parthib Gogoi – N/A
