The huge spells of possession finally pay off for Goa. 1-0
[8'] SHOT OVER THE BAR! - Odisha give the ball away cheaply and Goa quickly nudge it towards Alberto Noguera.

FC Goa will take on Odisha FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Goa. Goa would definitely hope to win this game and further strengthen their chances for Semi Finals as they already are in the top 4. Odisha on the other hasn’t had a great season so far as they’ve managed to win just 1 game in 17 matches that they have played so far and would hope to cause a big upset by defeating Goa and denting their Semi Final chances.
