Rangdajied lost the match due to a magical moment produced by the Gaurs at the very last moment of the match. However, they still shouldn't be disheartened because they showed some absolutely beautiful display of gameplay. They were on equal terms with this Goa side if not better at times. The scoreline reads 4-3 in favor of Goa at the end of the match.
96' And as we said, drama continues with Gaurs probably with the winning goal of the match. Likson tries to put the ball into the net from the right flank from an extremely tight angle but it hits the bar, Vellington at the right place at the right time shoots the rebound ball inside the net.
90+5' Both teams have been absolutely relentless in these last few minutes of the match to get that one moment of magic that can give them that one goal to win the match. The box-to-box action with creative efforts from both sides has been a treat for the eyes.
90' We'd be fools to think that more drama cannot come in the remaining few minutes of the game. It's also getting a little more physical with three more yellow cards so far into the match.
Referee signals 6 minutes of additional time.

FCG 1-1 RUFC

45' The second half begins with a kickstart to the ball from FC Goa.
Both teams almost have similar possession - Goa with 49% and Rangdajied with 51% possession. However, as we've been saying in the first half, the stats show that - FCG managed only a single shot which wasn't on target. Whereas, RUFC got 5 shots in total and 2 of them were on target.
Referee signals the end of the first half with the scoreline reading 0-1 in favor of Rangdajied United FC.
45' RUFC had another golden chance to increase their lead when they got a free-kick well near the midfield, taken long inside the box where it reached Benny who put a header right where it was needed but FCG gk was brilliant enough to save it. Gone for a corner, taken long but nothing produces off it. On the other side of the field, FCG create problem soon, the RUFC gk comes out and grabs the ball but injures himself a little in the process. He is well enough to continue the match.
Referee signals 3 minutes of additional time.
40' FCG created their first dangerous chance in a while with the ball ending up on the side netting. Gone for a corner for the Gaurs, they took it long but it couldn't reach any of their own players. RUFC's Aenam was creating problems near the box but Gaurs are defending well with a large number.
FCG 0-1 RUFC
35' FCG need to create more chances which hasn't been the case in the last 10 minutes or so. RUFC are running that show of creating dangerous chances to threaten FCG and FCG will need to think of a way to change that if they want to equalize.
30' Both teams are giving an equal fight to each other which is a delight to see for the neutral fans out there. RUFC took their shot another time from the distance. They're doing well to find the gaps and perfect passes to each other without being dispossessed inside the opposition box which gives them all the advantage in the world.
FCG 0-1 RUFC
25' FCG were dominating the possession at one point of the game but RUFC were always a threat even if they didn't always have the ball on their feet. They made it count when needed. Now FCG need to capitalize on the chances they make next.
19' It's the wildcards that stun the Gaurs when FCG defender makes a mistake, falls down, RUFC's Pajuh steps up, gets the ball and with a magnificent shot from a bit of a distance scores a screamer.
FCG 0-1 RUFC
15' RUFC's Aenam will prove to be a force to be reckoned with in this match. First corner of the match went to RUFC, taken long but nothing came off it and FCG went into a counter-attack fast. The water in the ground is making the flow of the ball slow but it's still moving well, so the play should continue.
10' With the heavy rain, the ground is a bit difficult. However, both teams are still looking in their best form in the first 10 minutes of the match. FCG got a free-kick, taken long directly into the goal but it goes a bit too far away.
FCG 0-0 RUFC
