East Bengal vs FC Goa Live Score Highlights: EBFC 0-0 FCG At Full-Time | Match Ends In Goalless Stalemate

That’s all we have from Kolkata! 

That’s it! Its’ It’s full-time here in Kolkata! East Bengal and FC Goa have played out their first-ever goalless stalemate in their head-to-head ISL fixtures. It was one of those days, where everyone failed to live up to the expectations. The first half belonged to FC Goa and the second-half was in East Bengal’s favour. But nothing turned out fruitful as both the sides will have to settle for a draw. EBFC moved to 4th, while FCG take the 3rd position. 

East Bengal screaming for hand-ball! Did the Goa defender handle the ball with his hand? The referee looks uninterested! Play goes on! 

Here we go we are into stoppage time now! 5 minutes have been added on! Can East Bengal score the winner? 

Lat 5 minutes of regulation time left now. Can East Bengal get something out of it? or maybe FC Goa will have the last laugh in this game? As we speak, Bipin had a crack from distance and it was nowhere near the framework of the goal! 

We are into the last 10 minutes of the game. We see chances after chance coming in for East Bengal, but getting nothing out of it. The hosts have been dominating the game for the last 20 minutes of the game. Goa have cancelled out their attack quite expertly. 

15 minutes left in the game and FC Goa had a good chance from inside the box, but the shot goes agonizingly over the bar for a goal-kick! 

A promising chance from East Bengal and it once again goes begging! Naorem with a lay-off to Sojberg, who gives it to Ejjezzari and the Spaniard’s right-footed attempted was expertly blocked. 

East Bengal are now having more of the ball. They are pressing men forward but not producing the clear-cut chances that will turn into a goal. It’s raining long-range shots at the Salt Lake from the hosts! 

61 Minutes into the clock and both sides toil hard to get a goal. East Bengal bringing in the men forward but failed to make most of it. Goa on the other hand are getting stopped in the flanks. It’s still even stevens! 

The game has slowed down a bit in the second-half. Nothing really worked so far and East Bengal are making two changes. PV Vishnu and Anton Sojberg comes on. Oscar Bruzon going all out by bringing in fresh legs. 

East Bengal enjoy possession, trying to build-up play and generate an opening. Goa’s midfield has been aware and the defense quite solid. 

We are back for the second-half! This time, East Bengal get the ball rolling. Will we finally see a goal? 

Can the second-half promise to be a goal-fest? Only time will tell! 

It’s half-time here at the Salt Lake! East Bengal and FC Goa go into the break with nothing to separate them. Both had their chances, but couldn’t capitalise. Goa had the better chances, no doubt about it and will be feeling more confident when the second-half resumes. Stay tuned on NewsX for all the live updates. 

3 minutes have been added on for stoppages! Can either of the sides get a goal heading into the half-time break? 

Boris with a chance and he hits the bar from inside the box!! EBFC are literally giving it away! As we speak, Rashid’s long-range attempt also hits the bar after the keeper spills it! End-to-end stuff! 

Ishan Pandita through on goal with a chance! But his weak shot hardly troubled Gill on goal! The hosts are now taking it lightly. Can’t give in so easily! 

Shot from Brison from inside the box and Gill comfortably pushes it away! For a moment it looked like it would go in! 

Miguel has a crack from long distance! His shot was low but lacked venom and the direction to beat the FCG keeper between the sticks. 

Officially completed 30 minutes of the match and the best chance, if we see fell to Ezzejjari! Goa might have had the best chances but EB should’ve scored from the Ezzejjari chance! 

Almost 30 minutes into the clock and East Bengal almost broke the deadlock! Bipin finds space in the left flank and his cross was met by the onrushing Ejjezzari, who’s volley just went over the top from inside the box. Best move so far from the hosts! 

East Bengal are try to counter Goa’s moves but most times they are getting contained in the final third or maybe an offside trap or being too aggressive with the fouls. 

East Bengal have been silent so far in the game. Haven’t had the best of attacks. They need to spend more time on the ball and try to retain the possession. 

12 minutes into the game and FC Goa are having the best chances so far. Anwar Ali has twice denied Ishan inside the box to have a shot at goal. Goa are a dangerous side and EBFC need to contain them well. 

East Bengal finally get the ball rolling. Slowly and steadily build play with their possession. 3 minutes into the game and both teams are yet to have a shot on target. 

Match underway at the Salt Lake! FC Goa get the ball underway with their possession game! 

Re-union time in Kolkata! 

Time for Game Week 4! 

Stay tuned to NewsX for all the live updates. The match starts at 5:00 PM IST. 

Here’s an entire wrap of Game Week 3! 

Match Day vibes from the FC Goa camp! 

Thursday evening blockbuster on the cards in the ISL! Kolkata get ready to witness fire! 

The Bangal Brigade needed someone to support Miguel in the midfield and finally they Naorem Mahesh Singh. His return will bring back the fluidity, the hosts were missing in the previous game. It is also a good move by playing out with a lone striker as the 2-man strike force didn’t live up to the mark in the previous game. A lot of hopes will also be pinned on Edmund Lalrindika as he takes the field. He has scored in the last two games for EBFC. 

East Bengal FC just announced their playing XIs! Naorem Mahesh Singh is back in the playing XI! Jay Gupta has been dropped and Mohammed Rakip takes his place. Anton Sojberg starts from the bench and the returning Saul Crespo is also named among the substitutes. 

FC Goa have announced their line-ups! Check their playing XI as it boasts of Drazic, Sandesh, Tavora, Udanta and Brison! 

Can the Bangal brigade make a comeback today? All to play for at the Salt Lake! 

If East Bengal win today, they’ll the second spot, while if FC Goa win today, the Gaurs will dethrone Mohun Bagan Super Giant and will take the top spot. Since it’s a short league, so every match counts. 

Since entering the Indian Super League in 2020, East Bengal FC have found it difficult against FC Goa. In their 10 league meetings, the Gaurs have won seven matches, while East Bengal have managed just one victory, with two games ending in draws. After relatively balanced results early on, Goa have taken firm control of the fixture, winning the last six consecutive encounters, including a 3–2 triumph at the Salt Lake Stadium.

FC Goa have started the 2025–26 season strongly and remain unbeaten, sitting third with seven points while chasing a third straight win. Coached by Manolo Marquez, the Gaurs boast one of the league’s strongest defences with two clean sheets, led by Sandesh Jhingan and Pol Moreno. In attack, Dejan Drazic has been in top form, scoring in every match so far. The visitors will also draw confidence from their recent triumph over East Bengal FC in the final of the AIFF Super Cup 2025.

East Bengal FC head into their crucial clash against FC Goa at the Salt Lake Stadium hoping to end a poor record, with just one win in their last ten Indian Super League meetings with the Gaurs. Coached by Oscar Bruzon, the Red and Gold Brigade sit fifth with six points from three games and are aiming to recover from a late 2–1 defeat to Jamshedpur FC. Top scorer Youssef Ezzejjari (four goals) will be key, while the return of Naorem Mahesh Singh and Saul Crespo adds creativity to the side.
