ISL 2024-25: FC Goa Close Gap With Leader Mohun Bagan After 2-0 Win Over Chennaiyin
Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Iker Guarrotxena and Aakash Sangwan scored a goal each in the first half as FC Goa defeated Chennaiyin FC 2-0 in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday night. The Gaurs are placed second in the table with 33 points after this win, cutting the gap with the top-positioned Mohun Bagan Super Giant (37) to four points.
The loss also extended Chennaiyin FC’s winless run to six games, having last tasted a victory in the ISL during their 1-0 win against Hyderabad FC on December 11. FC Goa held total control over this game, keeping 58.6% of the possession and taking eight shots on target as opposed to none of Chennaiyin FC.
Guarrotxena got FC Goa ahead in the game with his sharp awareness inside the six-yard box. Following a corner, Boris Singh received the ball on the right flank. Boris curled in a cross that was mishandled by Chennaiyin FC goalkeeper Mohammed Nawaz. Brison Fernandes lapped upon the chance but his shot ricocheted off the woodwork, and Guarrotxena picked up the loose ball and hammered it into the high centre of the goal in the 11th minute.
