After a poor start against Bengaluru FC in their season opener, it was very pleasing to see the Islanders pressing from the front and winning some crucial balls from a well-settled FC Goa.

The first goal was a clear indication of how well their plan was working out. But doing that it made them even more vulnerable to counter-attacks.

The 3-4-3 proved to be quite a success but there was surely more room for improvement. Their moment with the ball was well balanced and surely proved pivotal when they took a lead in the dying minutes of the second half.
