    Indian Super League: FC Goa secured their first win of the 2024-25 season in the Indian Super League (ISL) as they edged past East Bengal 3-2 at the Salt Lake Stadium here on Friday. Despite East Bengal’s best efforts, FC Goa were buoyed by Borja Herrera’s sensational hattrick on the night, the first hattrick of the season.

    The visitors started the game brightly as they made some impactful moves into the final third. The likes of Dejan Drazic, Borja Herrera and Boris Singh made openings early on in the game. Their persistent attacks were soon rewarded when Drazic’s cross from the left was parried away by East Bengal goalkeeper Debjit Majumder. However, the stray ball fell to Borja in space and the Spaniard slotted it into the net in the 13th minute.

    The Gaurs kept troubling the East Bengal FC backline with their darting counterattacks. In such an instance, Boris Singh won possession from Hijazi Maher on the right flank in a dangerous area. The youngster came up with a perfectly weighted cut-back to find Borja in the box, who slammed it home again in the 20th minute to double the lead for the visitors.
