Broke their team apart, 7 or 8 starting 11 players left. Staryed everything from scratch. No big name Indian signings, depended of academy and local players. @FCGoaOfficial take a bow. You guys deserved more. God is not watching anything it seems 💔 #FCGoa #isl #forcagoa

Heartbreak it is for Goa. But what a lovely season it has been from them. New set of foreigners, midway changes and yet such memorable performance. Juan Ferrando has been class. Waiting for ACL games already.

FT: Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
The first semi-final of the 2020-21 ISL season has gone to extra time. Nothing to separate the two teams after 180 minutes of football. FC Goa definitely the better team in the second half but nothing to show for it. Thirty more minutes to win it for either side.

63’ Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
Chances at both ends. First Adil Khan blocks Le Fondre’s effort before Pandita forces a superb save from Amrinder on the counter. The game is coming alive

GOA! ALMOST! Brilliant play for Ferrando’s men. Gama makes a cutback that finds Romario in acres of space inside the box but his effort is pushed onto the bar and out by Amrinder. Mumbai get out of jail there.

Second half begins. Ishan Pandita has come on for FC Goa in place of Redeem Tlang. Juan Ferrando clearly going for it.
HT: Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
Sign of things to come?
HT: Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
A very close first half. FC Goa with two shots on target but chances have been at premium as the two teams are giving nothing away. It would need something really special to win this semi-final. A big second half to come.
34’ Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
Ortiz works Amrinder. The Spaniard tries to find the top corner from a free-kick outside the box but Amrinder saves it.
27’ Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
First real chance of the game and it goes FC Goa’s way. Great play from Ortiz to hold the bal and set up Noguera for a shot. Amrinder parries it away and a Mumbai defender blocks the shot from the resultant loose ball. Good from Goa.

Mumbai started brightly but Goa have settled into the game. No attempts by either team so far.
8’ Mumbai City FC 0-0 FC Goa
A positive start from Mumbai who have started on the front foot. Goa have resisted the early pressure.
