XtraTime Web Desk – Kibu Vicuna and his magic is still missing in the Indian Super League. After winning the I-League with Mohun Bagan, everyone expected that Kibu will shine in ISL but as of now, he failed to make a mark.

From the very start, FC Goa had the control. Ortiz’s shot hit the post in the 10th minute mark and Angalo’s shot hit the post in the 17th minute mark. However, Kerala’s good fortune run out when Angulo finally scored in the 30th minute mark. FC Goa could’ve had at least a lead of 4 goals by halftime if their luck favoured them. After 45 mins, FC Goa were leading by 1-0.

In the second half, FC Goa took a 2-0 lead in the 52nd minute as Jorge Ortiz scored his very first ISL goal. It wasn’t just Goa who wasn’t lucky at times, Kerala’s Vincent Gomez’s shot hit the cross bar in the 67th minute. That could’ve brought Kerala back into the game. Vincent however scored a goal in the 90th minute but however it was too late for Kerala to comeback. However, not too late for FC Goa as they scored their 3rd goal in the 94th minute. Costa Nhamoinesu was shown a red card after 2 yellow cards in the 92nd minute. The 10-man Kerala then considered the third as Angulo goal scored again.

With Angulo’s brace, Kerala now lost their second match of the season. With two draws, Kerala now has 2 points from 4 games. Meanwhile Goa has 5 points from 4 games.
