NorthEast United FC shared the spoils with FC Goa in a scintillating 3-3 draw at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa on Friday in the Indian Super League.
Both teams went hammer and tongs with their respective frontline while the defenders had a tough day at the office. NorthEast United believed they had three points in the bag until Borja Herrera came up with a late stoppage-time goal to salvage a draw for Goa.
The Highlanders started the game on the front foot courtesy of their extremely flexible attack, with Jithin MS, Alaeddine Ajaraie and Nestor Albiach all interchanging positions. They were rewarded for the bright start as Albiach gave them the lead in the sixth minute. He worked his way past a crowd of Goan defenders before beating Laxmikant Kattimani in goal.
The Gaurs were caught off guard by the pace and trickery of NorthEast United’s frontline as Ajaraie almost doubled the lead for the visitors within three minutes of the first goal. Minutes later, FC Goa had a loud appeal for a penalty as Armando Sadiku went down in the box following a shirt tug by Michel Zabaco but the referee was completely disinterested.
The biggest opportunity of the first half came...
