#4 Entertainment guaranteed whenever FC Goa play

Goa
Goa's games have averaged over four goals per match

Sergio Lobera openly admitted at the start of the season that he'd rather win 3-2 than draw 0-0. His positive approach may have naysayers but it surely results in some thoroughly entertaining football.

Their four games have produced 22 goals (scored 13 and conceded 9) at an average of more than five goals per match. FC Goa always ensure they play their part in giving the spectators their money's worth.

Up against Kerala tonight, four goals (two each) were scored inside the opening thirty minutes of the match. Seven in total. Some would say, entertainment came at the price of poor quality football. Nothing about some of those finishes were poor. One thing is for sure, none of the vociferous fans in the stadium tonight were complaining. The ISL has a team who love to play beautiful football, a refreshing deviation from the tactical, at times negative approach that most teams adopt.
