FC Goa struck twice in the first half to beat Mohammedan Sporting 2-0 in their Indian Super League (ILS) 2025-26 match at the Kishore Bharati Stadium in Kolkata on Friday. The win gave Goa their first win of the season and took their tally to four points from two matches, while Mohammedan Sporting slumped to their second successive defeat.
Goa, who had fought back on home turf earlier in the opener to secure a 1-1 draw against Inter Kashi, found their rhythm early against Sporting. The breakthrough came in the fourth minute when Spanish defender Pol Moreno rose above the Mohammedan defense and headed home from a corner. The early goal allowed the Gaurs to dictate proceedings as they continued in search of a second goal.

The moment came in the 31st minute after a defensive error. Mohammedan goalkeeper Subhajit Bhattacharjee rushed out to challenge Goa winger Udanta Singh in the penalty area and brought him down. The resulting penalty saw Serbian striker Dejan Drazic calmly convert from the spot to give Goa a comfortable cushion heading into half-time.
With a two-goal lead, Goa managed the second half efficiently and maintained their authority over the action to seal a deserved win. Mohammedan Sporting, one of the few teams in the league without a foreign recruit, struggled to find a breakthrough as Goa’s defense held firm.
