Goa suffered a 3-1 defeat in their last match against Jamshedpur. Goa conceded two goals in the 34th and 37th minutes before Ayush Chhetri scored to reduce the score line before the halftime break. In the race to level the score, they conceded again in the 68th minute and lost it all. This loss ended their unbeaten run of 12 games, scoring 24 and conceding 13 goals.

Watch out for Brison Fernandes, who has been exceptional this season; he has scored five goals with two assists in the last seven games, and his contribution would be vital to turning things around here.
