ISL 2020-21 FC Goa vs Mumbai City Half Time: 0-0; A very tactical half of football which was dominated by the Gaurs for majority of the half. Though it will be MCFC who will enter the break happier as the home side will have to play the second half with a man down. The Gaurs looked more threatening but a red card to Redeem Tlang in the 40th minute for a late and clumsy tackle on Hernan Daniel Santana Trujillo saw the Gaurs finish with 10 men. The Islanders will have to revisit their plans as they have not looked threatening in the final third and they will be eager to make a man’s advantage count in the second 45. How will FCG manage to play the second half? A very tense second half awaits us.

15′ – The ball hit the referee and FC Goa has a free kick 30 yards away from the goal, intercepted well by Fall and cleared away!
