Mohammedan SC gave a good account of themselves in their ISL debut against reigning Durand Cup winners North East United FC, having more than 60% possession and creating nine chances, in front of their own supporters.

Different players adapt differently to circumstances -- some take less time and some more than that,” MSC's Russian head coach Andrey Chernyshov said ahead of the FC Goa clash.
Goa, on the other hand, are keen to secure their first ISL win of the season, having lost out to Jamshedpur last time out despite taking the lead through Armando Sadiku's opener on the stroke of half-time. Manolo Marquez's side went into the break with a 1-0 lead, but the the Men of Steel fought back in the second-half. Javier Siverio equalised for JFC from the penalty spot in the 74th-minute. Just when it looked like the game was heading into a draw, Jordan Murray scored the winner in the 93rd-minute, breaking the hearts of the home fans at Fatorda Stadium.
“As we see in the training, the hunger among the players to respond to the defeat in the first game is there. But you cannot promise results. You can only promise that the players will work hard to achieve them. And I feel that on Saturday against Mohammedan SC, they will work hard,” said Goa head coach Marquez.
