An early goal from debutant Cleiton Silva gave FC Bengaluru the lead against a strong FC Goa unit. Although FC Goa had 69% possession in the first half, they registered only 1 shot on target.
Defender Juanan made it 2-0 to Bengaluru in the 57th minute but a brace from striker Igor Angulo saved FC Goa from dropping points. Goa would be content with a draw considering they went 2-0 down but had the urgency and cutting edge to make it level at the Fatorda Stadium.
Odisha FC play Hyderabad FC tomorrow in Bambolim to begin both teams’ campaigns.
