Brison Fernandes struck a brace in the second consecutive match as FC Goa outplayed Odisha FC 4-2 at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar in an exciting Indian Super League (ISL) clash on Saturday evening.
The Gaurs are third in the table with 25 points now, and they have extended their unbeaten streak in away matches to seven games. Odisha FC are now winless in their 11 face-offs in the league with the Gaurs.
Brison Fernandes, who scored twice in a match for the second straight time, kicked off the game strongly for the visitors, as he combined with Iker Guarrotxena inside the box to pounce upon the Odisha FC backline that had given them ample space to attempt a shot right through the centre. Iker got the ball inside the box, but lost possession to Mourtada Fall. The Odisha FC defender took a heavy touch, resulting in the ball landing in Brison's path. The FC Goa player controlled the ball with his chest, before getting it down and drilling it into the bottom right corner to open the scoring in the eighth minute.
