FC Goa goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh attempts to make a block against Al Rayyan in their AFC Champions League match at Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, on Monday
Margao: Jorge Ortiz kept shaking his head. He was named the Player-of-the-Match, yet could hardly believe how this ended. Dheeraj Singh fell to the ground, dejected, despite making a terrific last-minute save to hand FC Goa another point in the AFC Champions League.
When Goa played Al Rayyan and secured a goalless draw in the group opener, fans cheered lustily. The teams met again and finished 1-1 at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Monday night, but nobody celebrated.
