Venue: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, Goa

Today, Indian Super League side FC Goa is playing host to Al Nassr in an AFC Champions League 2 group-stage match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, in Goa, India. This is an important match for FC Goa as they would go on to play the next match at home.  

Match Pride and Power  

This is an important match for FC Goa as their aspirations this season outrank the usual pursuit of points. After two consecutive defeats, Goa is eager for their first win of the season. Al Nassr, on the other hand, is in the first position of the group and has international players on their roster. Al Nassr is expected to win this match, especially because they have performed well as of late.  

Al Nassr’s Strength Without Ronaldo  

Al Nassr has the most dominating squad in the group. Even without Ronaldo, the other players that will partake in the match still have world class talent. Al Nassr has most of their squad participating in the group stages to keep their match fitness. Sandhu encourages his players to play compactly and disciplined while remaining quick to counter.

Match Prediction and Outlook    

FC Goa might be the underdogs, but the home support and the determination we have witnessed in the previous matches suggests that the defending will be ‘spirited’. FC Goa are likely to play compact and counter quickly thus they will try hard to earn at least a draw, which will be a huge result for them.  

Final Thoughts    

Win or lose, we will be witnessing the match for the stark difference in stardom. Al Nassr will be bringing all the glamour and stardom as Goa provides the homegrown spirit. My point is that Indian football has evolved and so has the AFC Champions League, globally.
