Reliance Foundation Development League 2022 Highlights M1: Chennaiyin FC Vs FC Goa

FC Goa's Dias scored from a Vasim Inamdar pass to cap off an impressive outing both for him and the 'home' team who bossed possession, especially in the first half, and weathered a flurry of Chennaiyin attacks at the start of the second period to log three points in the first game of the competition.

Goa thought they had taken an early lead when skipper Lesly Rebello smashed home from close only for referee Shantan Agrawal to raise his flag for an offside. Soon after, striker Mevan Dias shot wide from the edge of the box as the Gaurs had Chennaiyin defenders on tenterhooks in a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation.

Chennaiyin sat deep and relied on counter attacks to find a breakthrough, Syed Suhail Pasha firing wide of the target from a Johnson Joseph Mathews pass.

Jovial was in his elements from the off and proved to be a constant menace for Chennaiyin, dropping a shoulder and making an incisive run in the 21st minute to underline his intentions. Both teams went into the break as they were at the start, Chennaiyin trying to find answers to Goa's slick possession play.

Soon after the breather, Pasha skewed his effort wide while Joseph Lalvenhima saw his shot from close come off his own teammate. Goa coach Deggie Cardozo replaced Velroy Fernandes with Vasim in the 55th minute and the latter did not take much time to swing into action, finding Jovial with a perfectly-timed pass from the left inside channel which the latter toe-poked past an onrushing Samik Mitra under the Chennaiyin bar.
