PANAJI: FC Goa had another forgettable night in the Indian Super League (ISL) as Jamshedpur FC cruised to a 3-1 win at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on Friday.
After the 3-0 loss against Mumbai City, coach Juan Ferrando made four changes as he introduced Jorge Ortiz, Seriton Fernandes, Devendra Murgaonkar and Aiban Dohling to the starting line-up.
At least on paper, this looked like a better side, but Goa never got going against Jamshedpur, who made three changes, including sacrificing a foreign defender (Eli Sabia) for midfield control through Greg Stewart.
Goa’s defensive frailties cropped up again as Nerijus Valskis (51st minute and 61’) scored twice and Jordan Murray (80’) added his name to the scoresheet.
Goa did open their account through Airam Cabrera (86’) late in the game.
Edu Bedia saw his shot hit the crossbar and there were other misses, but nobody was left in any doubt that Jamshedpur were the deserving winners.
Owen Coyle had a simple plan -- let Goa have as much as the ball.
