Goa Edge Past Al Seeb to Seal AFC Champions League Two Spot
Ray Sportz Web Desk: FC Goa booked their place in the AFC Champions League Two group stage after a tense 2–1 win over Oman’s Al Seeb Club at the Fatorda Stadium on Wednesday.
Serbian midfielder Dejan Drazic opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a deft chip, before Spanish striker Javier Siverio doubled the lead with a powerful header early in the second half.
Al Seeb responded through Nasser Al-Rawahi’s strike in the 60th minute, sparking a late wave of pressure on the home side. Goa’s defense, however, stood firm to secure the victory.
The win marks a significant milestone for the Gaurs, who now join Mohun Bagan Super Giant in representing India in the continental competition’s group stage.
