Mohammedan SC vs FC Goa ISL 2024-25 match report: Sadiku's late goal spoils Mohammedan's party
Armando Sadiku's late goal spoiled Mohammedan's party as the Kolkata club had to be satisfied with a 1-1 draw at home. Alexis Gomes scored Mohammedan's first-ever goal in ISL history.
Mohammedan Sporting Club missed their first win of the Indian Super League (ISL) season as they were held to a 1-1 draw by FC Goa at Kishore Bharati Krirangan, on Saturday. Mohammedan SC dominated proceedings but an intense encounter in the last 25 minutes saw FC Goa managing a draw as Armando Sadiku scored a goal in the 94th minute of the match.
Mohammedan SC Controlled the First Half
Mohammedan SC appeared to be aggressive from the outset. The home side were in command of the ball and appeared as the more threatening side as they pushed the FC Goa defence to the limit time and again.
In the 12th minute, Carlos Franca had the first real opportunity of the match. A constant threat throughout the game, this Brazilian forward found himself space inside the penalty area but could not manage to pick the target from such close range.
This failure would prove symptomatic of many missed chances that haunted the home side, as they continued to dominate the play without really creating any clear-cut opportunities for goals.
A few minutes later, Franca was once more dazzling with beautiful one-two movement that fed Lalremsanga in the box. That did not result in a goal for them as good intervention by Nim Dorjee saved the day for FC Goa.
Despite the missed chances, Franca remained a spark plug out there. His running and placing were causing absolute strife to FC Goa's defence. In the 24th minute, he made a magnificent run down the right wing, beating his marker through a silky touch before powering a shot that rattled the crossbar.
It was just one of those moments that spoke of Mohammedan SC's true attacking intent but were unable to reach the net.
The breakthrough finally came in the 66th minute. It paid off for Franca as Odei Onaindia dragged him down inside the penalty area, and Mohammedan SC earned themselves a penalty.
Alexis Gomez stepped up and calmly slotted the ball to give the home side a deserved lead. The Argentine midfielder was one of the standout performers, not only by scoring but also through his creativity in midfield and composure.
Late Show by FC Goa
Mohammedan SC were on the threshold of heading home with their first victory in ISL history with minutes running out to complete the game. But that wasn't destined to be. FC Goa had some other idea.
In injury time, a towering header by Armando Sadiku after an exquisite cross by Aakash Sangwan made it one-all and broke the hearts of home fans in a well-crafted attack that reflected the never-say-die spirit of FC Goa.
It Is A Tale Of Missed Opportunities For Mohammedan SC
While a draw suited FC Goa, Mohammedan SC will rue their missed opportunities. Repeated pressure resulted in 31 touches in the opposition's box compared to just 10 for FC Goa. They could produce as many as 17 such situations and were led by Franca and Gomez, but failed to convert them into goals and rather earned two precious points on the loss column.
Defending lapses, particularly while searching for those all-important three points, would be some other cause for concern for them before their next match.
Alexis Gomez – Man of the Match
Alexis Gomez was the difference on the night. He scored the penalty for Mohammedan SC and played a big role in Mohammedan SC's domination. With three chances created and a pass completion rate of 83%, he showed poise and authority within the guts of the midfield.
What is next for both teams?
The Mohammedan SC will now travel to Chennai for their next match against Chennaiyin FC on September 26. They would be itching to make the most of this performance and get their first season win. The team will face the challenge of East Bengal FC in Kolkata on the 27th of September. The Gaurs, with a late equalizer, would be carrying all that momentum into the next match.
Jamshedpur FC vs Mumbai City FC ISL 2024-25 Match Report: Jamshedpur comeback from behind to win by 3-2
Jamshedpur FC made a stunning comeback against Mumbai City FC to win by 3-2, securing their first home win of the ISL 2024-25 season at the JRD Tata Sports Complex.
Jamshedpur FC hammered Mumbai City FC with a sensational come-from-behind 3-2 victory at the JRD Tata Sports Complex to secure their maiden win at home inISL 2024-25. Though the Islanders had the early lead, Jamshedpur players stuck to their game plan to make a comeback to win at their home. With this win, Jamshedpur now have clinched back-to-back wins this season.
A Strong Start by Mumbai City FC
Mumbai City FC started the game with aggression, dominating possessions and early opportunities. In the fifth minute of the game, Yoell van Nieff intercepted a pass from Javi Hernandez and released a powerful long-range shot that curled just inches wide of the post. It was clear that the visitors were intent on controlling the game from the very beginning.
Within minutes though, Jamshedpur FC responded with their first notable chance. Imran Khan delivered a well-placed corner and Pratik Chaudhari on the far post headed it towards Javier Siverio. Siverio laid it off to Jordan Murray and his shot was cleared off the line for the fourth corner of the game. The play almost went into the lead, but Tiri's clearance deflected off the top of the crossbar and it remained level.
Mumbai did not have much to respond at this point, when in the eighth minute, through a Thaer Krouma header, Nikolaos Karelis delivered a thunderous shot that beat Albino Gomes, Jamshedpur FC's goalkeeper, to find himself at the forefront of the contest. The same player again threatened to double up just moments later, but failure to convert and reduction of the margin limited the damage.
Jordan Murray's equaliser for Jamshedpur FC
As the first half came by, Jamshedpur FC gradually went into a rhythm. It finally clicked in the 36th minute when an equalizer from Jordan Murray came along. A wonderful cross from Imran Khan from the right wing found Murray, who calmly slotted it into the net to restore parity, putting hopes back in the shop of home supporters once again.
Javi Hernandez's Spectacular Free-Kick
At the stroke of halftime, Jamshedpur FC did well to go ahead due to some maverick wizardry by Javi Hernandez. With a magical effort from the right flank, Hernandez's free-kick made it past the Mumbai defense and into the back of the net. It was a lapse in communication between the defenders and goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa that they capitalised on. The goal meant not only that Jamshedpur was leading but the total momentum was now on the side of the latter.
The home team continued the attack thrust in the second half. It was not more than four minutes after the resumption when Jamshedpur could have further made it 2-1 in their favour. Jordan Murray was poised to double his score for the night after Javi Hernandez played a sublime pass that sat him up. But an important block by Valpuia stopeed Murray's second goal of the night from occurring.
The pressure finally paid off in the 50th minute when a gem piece of play by Seiminlen Doungel set up Hernandez for his second goal. Doungel stepped past the Mumbai defense, and set up Hernandez for a perfect cross. Hernandez made no mistake with the pinpoint cross that doubled Jamshedpur's advantage over Mumbai City FC. The Spaniard's clinical finish left the Mumbai goalkeeper stretched and helpless, bringing the stadium to its feet.
Mumbai City FC Fightback but Jamshedpur Emerge Victorius
Last season's ISL Cup winners, Mumbai City FC did not lose heart despite being two down, and they went all out for a comeback. It came in the 77th with Yoell van Nieff pulling one back as his outside-the-penalty-area curling effort evaded Gomes and thudded the ball to the back of the net, thus reducing the deficit and making the endgame tense.
In the dying embers, Mumbai City FC went all out on the attack but Jamshedpur FC stood rock solid in their defense. Petr Kratky's team left everything on the pitch, but the backline of the hosts and mindful substitution made sure they went away with all three points.
Key Performer of the Match: Javi Hernandez
It is more than obvious that Javi Hernandez was the top performer of the match. The two goals for his team ensured that Jamshedpur FC would not go down in a defeat, but it would also make him the third player ever in ISL history who scored for five different teams. He dominated set pieces and made intelligent runs to create space, thus opening up the route to the victory of his team, and he has played an important role in some defensive and midfield work.
What's Next for the Teams?
Jamshedpur FC will look to carry such momentum into the away game against Odisha FC at Bhubaneswar on September 28. Mumbai City FC have a brief break between this and return to action on 2nd of October with Bengaluru FC visiting them at the Mumbai Football Arena. The two sets of players looking for a win over each other will look to be back and carry on with the remaining part of the season in good form.

East Bengal accuired the services of last season's ISL Golden Boot winner Dimitrios Diamantakos on a two-year deal from Kerala Blasters FC to solve their goal scoring porblem. Cuadrat had his eye on the Greek-striker and East Bengal management were able to sign him on a free transfer this season.
