FC Goa registered its maiden win in ISL Season 8, defeating SC East Bengal 4-3 in a match of fluctuating fortunes.
Goa had the better of the exchanges initially and found the lead in the 14th minute off a rasping pile-driver from Alberto Noguera. It could have doubled the lead in the 17th, but Jorge Ortiz sent his shot wide with just an open goal staring at him.
East Bengal clawed back into the contest through Antonio Perosevic, whose left-footed strike found the target in the 26th minute. The Croatian’s free kick had rebounded to him off the Goan wall and he made no mistake the second time.
