FC Goa vs Bengaluru FC ISL 2022-23 LIVE Updates and Score

That marks the end of Sportskeeda's coverage of this ISL 2022-23 encounter. It had goals as promised and this is Sayantan signing off. See you again very soon!

Bengaluru FC ended their poor run of form with a clinical 0-2 victory against FC Goa at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa on Saturday, November 26. Javi Hernandez scored a goal in each to carry the Blues over the line after four consecutive losses.

Although FC Goa controlled the possession, they lacked intensity in the opposition half and were wasteful when it came to their final ball.

Meanwhile, Simon Grayson's side were pragmatic and most importantly clinical throughout. They focused on their counter-attacks and made the most out of every single opportunity that came their way.

FULL-TIME: FC Goa 0-2 Bengaluru FC

90+6' Javi Hernandez has been adjudged the Hero of the match for his brace!

90' Six minutes added on for FC Goa to get something out of the game.

A deflected corner from Edu Bedia falls for Anwar Ali outside the opposition box. The young center-back goes for a cracking volley but his effort is narrowly tipped over the bar by a flying Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

80' SO CLOSE!

Roy Krishna, through on goal, sees the keeper out of his line and lobs over him. The ball bounces and hits the back post.

78' Gurpreet Sandhu is booked for time wasting.

67' Double change for FC Goa: Fares Arnaout and Sanson Pereira replace Marc Valiente and Seriton Fernandes.

Noah Sadaoui does well to get at the end of a cross from Ayush Dev Chhetri inside box, but his effort is wide of the mark. This was the Gaurs' best opportunity of the half.

59' Double change for FC Goa: Iker Guarrotxena and Princeton Rebello replaced by Edu Bedia and Redeem Tlang.

57' Bengaluru double their lead!

Welcome to the Javi Hernandez show! A textbook counter-attack from the Blues as Udanta Singh carries the ball forward and neatly sets up the Spanish midfielder with a lobbed ball. The FCG defense looks lacklustre, as Javi runs past them and calmly tucks it home past the keeper. Simon Grayson's men have doubled their lead.

52' FC Goa have had a strong start to the half as Alvaro Vazquez finds himself at the end of a half-chance. But the Spaniard's timid effort is comfortably saved by Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

47' Without Edu Bedia, the Goan midfield has lacked the precision and Pena will be hoping to introduce the Spaniard soon.

46' SECOND HALF IS UNDERWAY!

HALF-TIME: FC Goa 0-1 Bengaluru FC

45+2' MOMENT OF MADNESS!

FC Goa are very lucky. Dheeraj Singh is very lucky. Almost at the end of the first half, BFC releases Roy Krishna with a hooved ball, however, the Fijian still has two defenders on him. But out of nowhere, the FC Goa custodian charges out of his box, and when Krishna tries to evade, Dheeraj takes him out with an off-the-ball challenge.

The young keeper is lucky that the referee only deems it a yellow-card offense. FC Goa could've been a goal down, plus a man down.

45+1' We're well into the added time in the first half and FC Goa will be hoping to restore parity before the break.

45' Two minutes added on at least.

38' Alvaro Vazquez stands over a free-kick and his effort is expertly punched away by BFC custodian Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

34' SILKY!

Alvaro Vazquez brings in all the flair as he delivers a rabona cross but Anwar Ali finds himself offside.

34' Free-kick for FC Goa and Brandon Fernandes delivers it. But no significant output comes out of it.

28' FC Goa need to up the intensity here as they are on the back foot within the first half hour of the game.

27' GOOOAAAALLL!

A defensive error from Anwar Ali as he is robbed of possession by Roy Krishna just outside the FC Goa box. The Fijian sets up Javi Hernandez, who expertly lobs it past Dheeraj Singh. Bengaluru FC have a precious lead here.

20' This is a positional battle for both sides as neither team is ready to take any risk.

16' A good bit of play from BFC as Udanta Singh gets a through ball on the right flank. But just as he tries to cross, his shot is blocked.

7' As expected, FC Goa are dominating possession while Bengaluru FC are cautiously navigating the initial phase.

A blistering start from FC Goa as Noah Sadaoui gets through on goal but his effort is directed at Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

1' KICK-OFF!

Bengaluru FC get us going!
