FC Goa 2-1 Mumbai City Player Ratings: Timor Rated 8.5/10 as FC Goa Enters 3rd Super Cup Final

We already had our first finalist before this game, as East Bengal defeated Punjab FC 2-1. All eyes were on this fixture because FC Goa were playing to enter their third AIFF Super Cup final, which they eventually achieved with the help of David Timor’s good game.

The match carried extra hype due to the incident that happened before kickoff. FC Goa’s captain was shown a red card in the tunnel before the game even started. This moment seemed to lift the spirits of both teams Goa were determined to fight for their captain, while Mumbai City looked ready to capitalise on the sudden advantage.

However, anyone who watched the match closely would agree that Mumbai City FC had the chance to edge past the two-time AIFF Super Cup champions Goa. They created opportunities but failed to convert them. On the other hand, Manolo Marquez’s side known for grinding out wins with the slimmest of margins and relying on disciplined defending, once again showed why they have such a strong defensive identity.

Goa struck twice in quick succession, with Brison Fernandes opening the scoring in the 21st minute before David Timor doubled the lead two minutes later. Mumbai City pushed back and found hope through Brandon Fernandes well-taken goal in the 59th minute but Goa’s strong defending in the closing stages preserved their advantage. The match was intense, fast and competitive with Goa’s early momentum proving decisive as they secured all three points.
