As was the case in the first two games of the season, Goa struggled to create chances despite largely dominating possession with their first shot on goal coming only in the 45th minute. It went straight into the hands of the Bengaluru goalkeeper, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, and his team entered the break with a 1-0 lead.
Bengaluru soon doubled their lead and came from set pieces again, with Juanan scoring the score, the club’s 100th goal in the ISL.
Goa made two changes in attack around the clock, bringing in Brandon Fernandes and Alberto Noguera, and soon found its way back into the game with two goals from Igor Angulo in the space of so many minutes.
Angulo first cut the deficit with a clean finish after a beautiful liaison play between Fernandes and Noguera.
The forward then shoved a ball into the net for the equalizer after substitute Alexander Jesuraj squared a pass from the right. Mendoza had the opportunity to score the winning goal for Goa in injury time. However, Sandhu kept his shot away.
