Second half between FC Goa and FC Pune City is underway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda. More goals?
What a first half! Goa go into the half-time with 4-2 lead over Pune, thanks to a brace from Coro, who takes his season tally to six. Coach Sergio Lobera, however, needs to address his defensive woes. So do the opponents.
Marcelinho was going to get his side back in the game but his shot hits the bar. He picks up a loose ball before bearing down on goal and catching the crossbar with his effort from close range!
That is some bad defense by the visitors! FC Goa punish Pune for defensive errors as they take a two-goal lead. Coro slots it home despite his initial shot being blocked to make it 4-2
That could have made the game level and that should have gone in! Marcelinho takes a fantastic free kick which hits the side netting.
Emiliano Alfaro brings the Stallions back in the game with an absolute pile-driver of an effort. A lot of defensive errors by both sides is why there has already been five goals already.
What is happening! Twenty minutes into the first half and four goals! Jackichand scores his second goal of the season with a tap-in to give FC Goa 3-1 lead.
Here is the answer to the just-asked question. It is going to be a high scoring match. Coro heads it home to snatch the lead back from FC Pune City. He crosses in the ball perfectly to head it home.
Marcelinho Leite scores a brilliant goal for FC Pune City to level the match 1-1. What a start to the match! It has started on an attacking note. In the last match, FC Goa defeated Mumbai City 5-0. Is this going to be another high scoring match?
Hosts FC Goa start the match on a bright note as Nawaz gives his side 1-0 lead. Jahouh sends a long pass, which is brought down comfortably by Coro who darts into the box and finishes without any mistake.

FC Goa coach Sergio Lobera says, "I sincerely don't think that we are favourites. If you are not going to be 100 per cent, you're not going to win the game tomorrow. I don't think the table reflects the potential that Pune have as a team. They are a great team and I'm pretty sure they will be fighting for the title. Tomorrow's game is a tough one."
Starting XI for the hosts: Nawaz, Seriton, Sana, Mandar, Lenny, Jacki, Fall, Jahouh, Coro, Edu, Hugo.
Pune City Line-up: Vishal Kaith, Matt Mills, Gurtej Singh, Ashutosh Mehta, Chhuantea Fanai, Jonathan Vila, Marko Stankovic, Ashique Kuruniyan, Marcelinho Leite, Emiliano Alfaro, Robin Singh
