Here are the details for matchweek 13 of ISL 2024-25 with the latest match report coming first:
FC Goa 2 – 1 Mohun Bagan
(Brison Fernandes 12′, 68′; Dimi Petratos 55′ (P))
A Brison Fernandes brace saw FC Goa stun league leaders Mohun Bagan and make things tighter at the top of the table. Bagan, who had won seven and drawn one of their last eight, are still top with 26 points in twelve but Bengaluru with 24 in second and now Goa with 22 points in third are within touching distance.
The game started with Goa on the front foot, and Brison scored the opener with a combination of direct play and massive slice of fortune as his shot at goal looped off a Bagan leg and completely befuddled Vishal Kaith. A soft penalty saw Dimi Petratos bury an equaliser, but Brison was on hand again to win the game just a few minutes later with a superbly timed run and a diving header.
East Bengal 4 – 2 Punjab FC
(Maher 46;, Vishnu 54′, Suresh (OG) 60′, David 67′; Suljic 21′, Vidal 39′)
A game of two halves at the Salt Lake saw East Bengal come from 0-2 down to beat high flying Punjab 4-2. It was a remarkable turnaround considering Punjab’s dominance in the first half, where Ezequiel Vidal ran the show. He created the opener for Asmir Suljic before adding a second with a neat finish. EB started the second half with some intent and Hijazi Maher got a goal back inside the first minute with a commanding header off a Cleiton Silva ball. The on-fire PV Vishnu added a second before Nandakumar Sekar’s ball in was turned into his own goal by Suresh Nongmeikapam. Inside the hour, they had taken the lead. Four minutes after that OG, a bad tackle from Khaiminthang Lhungfim saw him get a second yellow and from then on EB amped up the pressure. It told within three minutes with centr-forward David Lalhlansanga finishing neatly off a Vishnu assist to make it 4-2, and that’s how it remained.
Punjab remain in fifth and will have a lot of introspection to do after that second half collapse. EB, meanwhile, remain 11th, but with momentum firmly on their side.
