Vasco : , Jan 6 (IANS) Bright Enobakhare s extraordinary solo goal for 10-man East Bengal on Wednesday was cancelled out just over a minute later by Devendra Murgaonkar for FC Goa as the two teams played out a dramatic 1-1 draw in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Tilak Maidan stadium here.
The otherwise cagey match exploded to life in the last 15 minutes as Goa scrambled to avoid losing despite East Bengal s Daniel Fox receiving a red card in the 56th minute.
Over to the post-match presentation now.
FC Goa coach Juan Ferrando: A lot people back in Spain watched this game and asked me if this is a joke. It s incredible. Even in our last game against Odisha FC two penalties were clear [which were not awarded]. Even today, the penalty against Ortiz was clear. I have 20 players in dressing room crying because they are hard working. I don t have a lot of time. We have four games in 20 days. We don t have a lot of time and it is important for us to recover. In the end, now we know that the final score does not depend on us.
