ISL 2017/18, Match 64: FC Goa vs NorthEast United FC, 5 Talking Points

#5 Highlanders spoil Goa's party

NorthEast snatched two vital points away from FC Goa

Tonight was a psychological test for Goa and a huge mental test for their players. The race for a spot in the top 4 is now well and truly on and the Gaurs can only blame themselves for giving their opponents a sniff.

Having fallen behind 1-2 courtesy a sublime three-pass move finished off by Corominas, North East levelled proceedings through a well-worked move of their own. Rowllin Borges scooped in a superb through ball to Doungel who squared it off to John Mosquera. The substitute scored with his first touch of the ball and silenced the home crowd.

Tonight's draw means Goa remain two points behind Jamshedpur. While they do have two games in hand, they will next face Bengaluru and Chennaiyin. This one will go down to the wire.
