FC Goa finish Super Cup campaign with win over ATK Mohun Bagan
Apr 19, 2023
Kozhikode (Kerala) [India], April 19 : FC Goa finished their season with a 1-0 win over ATK Mohun Bagan, thanks to Fares Arnaout's first goal in club colours.
In a match that produced very little in terms of goalmouth action, the Syrian international pounced on an error by the Mariner's keeper Vishal Kaith - heading from close distance following a corner after Kaith had fumbled on the gather.
Both sides huffed and puffed in the first half, but couldn't create any clear-cut chances as both sides looked content to keep long spells of possession.
The game opened up only late on with Arnaout's goal followed up by a shot on goal by Manvir Singh. Arshdeep, though, was up to the mark to keep his second clean sheet intact.
Noah Sadaoui and Makan Chothe carved an opportunity in the final moments of the game but failed to capitalise on it.
