FC Goa are on the 3rd spot.The new year proved to bring a gift for SC East Bengal as they register their first ever win in the Indian Super League. They are currently placed at the second bottom place. Robbie Fowler is determined to challenge other teams for the final 4 spots while Juan Ferrando is happy with his team’s compactness on the pitch.
While FC Goa is known for its possession-based football, the theory of East Bengal is still building. FC Goa, the AFC Champions League qualified team is very dangerous for any team’s defense line. Players like Igor and Ortiz can build moves any time on the pitch. Brandon is yet another lethal game-maker for the team. The defense line of FC Goa is a point to be worked upon for Juan. SC East Bengal are now looking good. The team lost their previous fixture against MCFC but after a tough fight.
