Late Comeback Secures Bengaluru FC a Point in 2-2 Draw Against FC Goa in ISL 2024-25

After a slow start, Bengaluru FC took charge of the game and started dictating play. Sunil Chhetri led the team's attacking efforts and showcased his confidence with a bold shot from long range in the 14th minute. The precision and power behind the strike were impressive, aimed directly at the bottom left corner, only to be denied by a brilliant save from FC Goa goalkeeper Hrithik Tiwari.

The duo of Ryan Williams and Chhetri have developed a fine understanding this season, with the former's timely crosses being met by the striker inside the box regularly. The home team encountered an opportunity to equalise in the 56th minute as Chhetri headed a similar delivery by Williams from the left side of the six-yard box, but it missed hitting the target by a whisker.

Interestingly, despite Bengaluru FC's repeated efforts to trouble FC Goa from a distance, it was Sahil Tavora who notched a strike from outside of the box in the 66th minute to double the Gaurs' lead. He pulled off a peach of a strike that landed straight into the top right corner and caught the Bengaluru FC backline off guard. The goal was a culmination of a brief passage where the visitors pushed against the run of play to create opportunities up front.
