Vishal Kaith will never like to see that goal again as his howler ends ATK Mohun Bagan's Super Cup campaign with consecutive loss in group stages. Surely not acceptable for a club, who just won the Indian Super League last month.
.@fcgoaofficial left it late again to bag the win ⏳✅

The referee blows the final whistle! Its' Fares Arnaout's late headers that seals the win for FC Goa! A parting gift for their outgoing manager
It's end-to-end now as Noah Sadaoui breaks free on the right flank and looks for a comfortable spot to fire the second goal but Mohun Bagan defenders fall in number to narrow the angle. The Goa winger squares it to Chothe, who fires it wide with his left foot! It's all happening now!
The match official adds five minutes of stoppage time and soon after ATK's Manvir Singh pounced on a lose ball after mistake by Saviour Gama, the India international runs deep into the box with three defenders chasing him and fires a shot right to the goalkeeper! Should have scored the equaliser
Howler by Vishal as he palms away the corner weakly to defender Fares Arnaout, who headed in the goal from six yards! This should be the game for FC Goa!
FC Goa substitute Devendra Murgaonkar wins a corner after finding acres of space on the right flank.
Anwar Ali plays Chothe through on the left flank with a brilliant long pass but the winger was caught marginally offside. Got to admire Anwar's ball distribution ability as few minutes earlier he made a diagonal pass into the midfield.
Another change by ATK coach Juan Ferrando. Sends in Sumeet Rathi for Glan Martins. FC Goa bring in Ayush for Herran Santana. Meanwhile Boumous wins a corner on the right side as Anwar Ali deflects it out of play.
Goa substitute Chotthe runs down the left wing and delivers a cross to Guarrotxena on the far post. The Basque striker hits it on the volley with a lot of power but it was far off the target!
Series of changes on either side as Boumous, Manvir Singh and Puitea come in form Gallego, Kiyan and Liston Colaco. For Goa, Chothe and Devendra replace Redeem and Brison
Ashique wins a challenge on left flank after being fed with a diagonal pass from Gallego, he squared it off to Colaco. The winger, in turn, intended a pass for Petratos inside the box but it was a touch too heavy and rolls out of play.
Ashique played free on the right flank and has one defender to beat! He dribbles closer to the goal post and squares off the ball but it is intercepted! The game has come to live suddenly!
Yellow card! This time ATK's Glan Martins for taking down Guarrotxena close to the Mohun Bagan box. Hernan Santana takes the free-kick and hits the side net. For a moment it looked like the ball went in as a full-stretching Vishal was beaten.
Yellow card for ATKMB's Carl McHugh as he tackles Guarrotxena from behind in the middle of the park. The referee had no hesitation there in bringing out the card.
A lot of stray passing and a lack of intensity from either side as the game has died down at the moment.
Noah Sadaoui cuts in from the left flank to avoid the Mohun Bagan's bodies and shoots from the edge of the box but Tiri used his body as a shield as the ball goes for a corner.
ATK Mohun Bagan has tweaked their tactics on the left flank to stop Noah Sadaoui as they are using side overload tactics every time the ball goes to the Gaur winger
The intensity of the game has been quite low at the moment as the sides are locked in midfield battle
A forced substitution for FC Goa as Saviours Gama for Leander and will slot in as full-back.
We are back after the break! One change for Mohun Bagan as Tiri comes in for East Bengal!
FC Goa's Noah Sadaoui as always a delight to watch as he fed in some pin point crosses, mostly from left flanks. ATKMB's Ashique entertained on the wing as well with a brilliant solo moment but the quality of his final pass remains in question. Liston Colaco has been lively on the other wing. Forwards from both the sides need to come into play more.

A cagey affair at best as both teams struggled to create cut throat chances. Three shots on target by ATK in comparison to none by their rivals. One of them was an unintended cross-turn shot by Ashique while the other was a half a chance from tight angle at the near post by Liston Colaco. Nothing much for fans to tal
HALF-TIME!⏰@FCGoaOfficial and @atkmohunbaganfc are locked goalless at the break ⏸️

The referee blows the final whistle as no considerate action takes place in the injury time! No shot on target for FC Goa despite having the creativity services of Noah Sadoui and Guarrotxena!
The match official adds three minutes of stoppage time while the match halts momentarily after a head injury to Goa skipper Guarrotxena following a collision with Glan Martins. It will be a drop ball for restart.
FC Goa's Iker Guarrotxena with a brilliant back flick pass to set up Redeem Tlang. However, the winger couldn't collect the volley and skies the ball high for Vishal Kaith to collect.
Arshdeep Singh gives the ball away following a poor pass from the back, Liston Colaco collects the ball on the right flank and runs inside the box and decides to shoot from a tight angle! Arshdeep happy to save at the near post.
FC Goa's Hernan gets too optimistic there as he goes for a direct shot from an indirect free-kick position, never going in from there!
FC Goa's defensive midfielder Lenny Rodrigues takes a shot at goal from 35 yards out flat! The effort rolled away for a goal kick.
Noah Sadoui with another of those telling crosses! This time using the outside of his right foot, the ball goes straight to the goalkeeper!
However, what was expected to be a virtual quarterfinal or a battle to the semifinals is now a mere dead rubber as Jamshedpur FC bloomed late in the season to stun the reigning ISL champions and FC Goa in goal fest to seal the lone semifinal berth from the Group C.
The night's biggest encounter might have lost a bit of glam but given how this tie has often turned up in the past and the stature of both the teams in Indian football, it's hard to miss the game from fans' perspective.
FC Goa, who finished unconvincing 7th in the ISL season, will be bidding farewell to their coach Carlos Pena, who will step down from his duties after the game with Hyderabad FC's Manolo Marquez taking charge.
As far as head-to-head is concerned, this is the third time Mohun Bagan and FC Goa are facing off this season. The Gaurs won the first game at home, Fatorda, 3-0 but conceded the return leg at the Salt Lake Stadium 2-1.
Mohun Bagan's Spanish coach Juan Ferrando, who is up against his former side, has promised that despite the tie being a dead rubber, they are not going to field a weak team for the match. The side made a strong start in the competition when they defeated Gokulam Kerala 3-0 but were outdone by Jamshedpur 3-0.
The defeat also knocked them out of the competition as Jamshedpur cleared themselves on head-to-head advantage in the competition.
