Right! That's it from us here at Sportskeeda! Hope you enjoyed our coverage of this manic encounter between FC Goa and the Kerala Blasters! Also, do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for all the latest news, scores and updates from the ISL!

Till then, this is Shashwat Kumar signing off! Goodbye and goodnight!

21:25 (IST)25 JAN 2020

PEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!!!! Goa triumph 3-2 and move to the top of the ISL table!
FC Goa eventually portrayed their superior attacking pedigree at the Fatorda to help clinch a spot at the perch of the ISL table. The game was played at an extremely frenetic pace with both sets of players feeling the effects of the contest towards the end. However, when push came to shove, the hosts displayed the requisite determination and imagination to pull away from their rivals. 

Boumous got things going after getting on the end of a superb team move while Jacki doubled the Gaurs' lead before the break. After the restart though, Goa inexplicably switched off as Kerala struck twice, once through Messi and later, through Ogbeche to set up a grand-stand finish. 

Ultimately, Goa lived up to their reputation of scoring late goals as Boumous popped up with an acrobatic finish to ensure that the three points remained at the Fatorda.

21:25 (IST)25 JAN 2020

90+7' DOungel holds the ball well in the corner and that should be that

21:24 (IST)25 JAN 2020

90+6' Jeakson takes a moment too long on the ball and that allows Brandon and DOungel to close him down. And, to make matters worse for the Blasters, the throw-in goes Goa's way

21:23 (IST)25 JAN 2020

90+5' Coro is replaced by Doungel!

21:23 (IST)25 JAN 2020

Coro seems to have come worse off from that challenge and looks in a lot of pain. The stretcher is out, although the ground staff don't take too long to bring it out anyway

21:22 (IST)25 JAN 2020

90+3' Jeakson finds Ogbeche, who turns and tries to pick the lock. But, he goes down too easily and Goa are on the attack. The ball finds its way to Saviour, who threads a pass for Coro, but the Spaniard is tackled expertly at the last moment. And, Coro is down in a heap! 

21:21 (IST)25 JAN 2020

In the meantime, Jeakson has come on for Raju!

21:20 (IST)25 JAN 2020

90+2' Messi advances down the left and tries to find Ogbeche with an early cross. But, like many a time, Mourtada is in the line of the cross and clears it away

21:19 (IST)25 JAN 2020

A minimum of five minutes to be added on!

21:18 (IST)25 JAN 2020

90' Boumous is replaced by Saviour Gama!

21:17 (IST)25 JAN 2020

89' Rafi gets on the end of a free-kick and heads it towards the centre of goal. But, Jahouh is there to clear the knock-down and set Goa on the break. Coro dances past his marker on the half-way line and feeds Manvir, who runs clear of Narzary before the latter catches up. Ultimately, the defender gets the ball away for a corner

21:16 (IST)25 JAN 2020

88' Now, its Jahouh's turn to get booked! Not a very uncommon sight, one must say! That also means that he will miss Goa's next game!

21:15 (IST)25 JAN 2020

87' Change for Kerala! Rafi comes on for Rakip!

21:13 (IST)25 JAN 2020

85' Boumous is booked for kicking the ball away! He then has a go at the referee but escapes a booking for the same!

21:11 (IST)25 JAN 2020

83' GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!! Boumous, you beauty!! Goa in front!
Jahouh picks up a loose ball just outside the box, sizes up his options and then spots Boumous' run beyond the centre backs. The Frenchman outstretches his right boot and acrobatically strikes at goal, although he doesn't get it cleanly. Rehenesh though, is caught out by the spontaneity of the shot and the ball bounces off him and into the back of the net. Wow! That certainly is a worthy match-winner! 

21:11 (IST)25 JAN 2020

82' Brandon and Cido go into the book for a needless bit of afters post a tackle! Not the smartest bit of play by either!

21:09 (IST)25 JAN 2020

81' Sahal shoots wide!
Sahal indulges in a bit of nifty footwork and he goes past Mourtada as if the latter wasn't there. He then lines up a shot from the edge of the box nit his shot off the outside of his boot flies wide of the far post

21:09 (IST)25 JAN 2020

We have entered the last 10 minutes of the game and there could be a goal or two in store. In fact, Goa have scored 8 late goals, the most in the competition so far

21:08 (IST)25 JAN 2020

80' Manvir advances down the right and then pulls it back for Jahouh. But, Goa then over-play it and hand the ball to Kerala. However, Messi, too over-complicates things and Mourtada sweeps up the danger

21:06 (IST)25 JAN 2020

78' Manvir replaces Jacki!

21:06 (IST)25 JAN 2020

78' Now, Raju has gone down injured. The frenetic pace of the encounter is starting to catch up with the players. However, the injury to the defender doesn't look serious and seems more of a cramp

21:04 (IST)25 JAN 2020

75' Jacki cheaply gives the ball away in the middle third and Messi is on his way on the left. But, his intended pass to Ogbeche is errant and Nawaz comes and collects comfortably

21:03 (IST)25 JAN 2020

74' Sahal comes on for Seityasen!

21:02 (IST)25 JAN 2020

74' Both sides are feeling their way back into the encounter after the madness of the first 25 minutes. Well, that was a bit overdue wasn't it? It has been a frantic game so far

20:59 (IST)25 JAN 2020

70' Gning brings down Coro and the referee awards a free-kick. The Goa players want a second yellow for the midfielder but it isn't coming. The players converge on the referee but they eventually, allow the referee a moment of peace

20:57 (IST)25 JAN 2020

69' GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!! Ogbeche brings Kerala level!!
Cido whips in a corner from the left flank and Ogbeche just muscles Mandar away. He then rises above everyone else and thumps his header into the back of the net. Sloppy defending all around by Goa

20:56 (IST)25 JAN 2020

67' Another tidy spell of possession for Goa but they haven't been able to penetrate the visitors' defence like they did in the first half. But, despite Boumous' attempts at keeping the ball, they lose it, just because of the sheer number of players in and around the Frenchman

20:53 (IST)25 JAN 2020

65' Brandon pinches the ball in midfield and that allows the hosts to stitch together a few passes to calm things down. But, then they uncharacteristically give it away and Coro fouls his man trying to regain possession

20:52 (IST)25 JAN 2020

64' Gning goes into the book for a challenge on Brandon!

20:50 (IST)25 JAN 2020

62' Ogbeche heads wide!
Seityasen frees himself of his marker's clutches and then curls in a deep cross for Ogbeche. The striker gets to it first but can't direct his header at goal

20:47 (IST)25 JAN 2020

59' Narzary skips past a couple of challenges, gets to the by-line on the left and clips in a cross for his strikers. But, it is intercepted by Mourtada as Goa clear the danger. The Goan boat is creaking here

20:44 (IST)25 JAN 2020

57' Jacki fluffs his lines!
Boumous and Coro link up well in midfield and the former finds Jacki in space. The Indian bares down on goal and then rather perplexingly, decides to shoot at goal, despite a narrow angle. Unsurprisingly, he fires it wildly over the bar. Coro is livid with his winger and rightly so. The Spaniard was in acres of space inside the box

20:44 (IST)25 JAN 2020

55' From a throw-in, Kerala get the ball to Jessel, who whips in a deep cross. Nawaz comes flapping at it but gets away with it. In a matter of moments, Goa are under pressure again and Messi is baring down on Mourtada. But, the defender times his tackle to perfection and denies Messi. Wow! Both sides have just let go of the handbrake!

20:41 (IST)25 JAN 2020

53' GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!! Messi pulls one back for Kerala!!
Kerala, much like Goa, work the ball well across the pitch and then find Seityasen on the left. The Indian fires in a pass to Messi, who dummies it, allows Ogbeche to lay it on for him. The latter plays a perfectly cushioned pass and Messi finishes off the opening with his left boot from inside the box. Game on!

20:39 (IST)25 JAN 2020

50' Messi advances down the left and gets in a good cross towards Ogbeche. Pena gets to the ball first but his clearance is straight at the Blasters skipper. Luckily for the hosts, the striker's touch lets him down as Nawaz gathers the loose ball

20:37 (IST)25 JAN 2020

49' Brandon returns to the field of play, although his movement seems severely restricted

20:37 (IST)25 JAN 2020

Brandon has gone down clutching his left ankle and he is immediately signalling towards the bench for treatment. He looks in a bit of pain and it would be interesting to see how serious it is

20:36 (IST)25 JAN 2020

47' The corner is recycle to Jahouh outside the box but the Moroccan's sweetly struck volley flies wide of the post

20:35 (IST)25 JAN 2020

46' Now, it's Goa's turn to attack and they try to do so through Coro. The Spaniard seems primed to run onto the long pass but Drobarov does just enough to put the ball behind for a corner

20:34 (IST)25 JAN 2020

46' Kerala are on the attack instantly and Ogbeche spreads the play towards Seityasen on the right. But, the Indian fires his cross high and wide

20:33 (IST)25 JAN 2020

PEEEEEEEEEPPPPP! Kerala get us underway!

20:19 (IST)25 JAN 2020

PEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!! The referee blows the whistle and Goa lead 2-0 at half-time!

20:18 (IST)25 JAN 2020

45+3' Kerala bombard the Goa box with long balls but the hosts are up to it completely

20:17 (IST)25 JAN 2020

45+1' GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!! Jacki doubles Goa's lead!
Goa take a quick free-kick and Boumous strides purposefully towards the box. He picks out Mandar, who tries to find the Frenchman in the middle. But, his cross his deflected towards Coro on the right, where the Spaniard drills in a ball and Jacki just pokes it with the bottom of his boot past Rehenesh. What an exceptionally well worked goal!

20:15 (IST)25 JAN 2020

Lenny is down injured at the moment and the medical staff are treating him. Goa would hope that it's nothing serious and that the midfielder can continue, considering he is one of their most vital cogs

20:14 (IST)25 JAN 2020

43' Seityasen cuts inside but his shot is charged down by Lenny. The latter then sets up a counter attack and proceeds down the right. But, Jacki is just a touch sluggish in his movement, meaning that Kerala come away with the ball 

20:13 (IST)25 JAN 2020

42' Kerala string together an attack and Seityasen spots Cido's run down the right channel. However, the Spaniard is tackled brilliantly by Pena and Kerala have another corner

20:11 (IST)25 JAN 2020

41' Kerala whip in the resulting corner at the front post and Raju gets his head to it. But, he gets a heavy touch, meaning that the ball eludes everyone in the box and bounces out of bounds

20:10 (IST)25 JAN 2020

40' Cido picks up the ball in midfield and then strides towards goal. However, he dallies on the ball a touch too long and that enables Seriton to get across and stab the ball out of play for a corner
