Kolkata : Mohun Bagan Super Giants suffered a 4-1 loss against FC Goa in Salt Lake Stadium. Noah Sadaoui’s brace was the pioneer in their victory.
Goa took control of the proceedings quite early and found the break in the 10th minute off a penalty that was converted by its winger Noah Sadaoui. The spot-kick was awarded after Manivir Singh got his hand in the way as the Goa attacker Odei attempted a shot on the host’s goal.
Goa ripped apart Mohun Bagan’s defense , doubling the lead the 42nd minute when Victor Rodriguez played a one-two with Carl McHugh inside the Mohun Bagan box to create the opportunity, which he finished himself.
Mohun Bagan defence faltered once again in the injury-time allowing Noah the space inside the box and the American winger made no mistake in placing the ball home with a nice angular finish.
Down by three goals Mohun Bagan tried desperately to make a comeback and pulled one back just before the breather as Dimitri Petratos scored from a direct freekick.
With the host unable to find any more replies in the second half, Goa added one more to its tally from another penalty in the injury time. Substitute Carlos Martinez found the target from the spot.
With this win Goa topped the league standings as of now, where as defending Champions Mohun Bagan suffered 2nd consecutive defeat.
