The sixth game of the ongoing Durand Cup 2022 will see defending champions FC Goa take on Indian Air Force at the Kishore Bharati Stadium in Kolkata on Friday, August 19.
FC Goa did not have a great start to the competition as they went down against Mohammedan Sporting 3-1 in the season opener. The team took the lead in the 34th minute, but Mohammedan equalized in the 49th minute before goals in the 84th and 90+3rd minute meant they secured a convincing win.
For the Indian Air Force football side, this will be their first game of the Durand Cup. The team does have a few players who have turned out in competitive league football and will be hoping to make a mark.
