Álex Vallejo scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to earn FC Goa a 1-1 draw with Sporting Club Delhi at Fatorda on Wednesday, cancelling out Juan Pena’s second-half counter-attack goal and denying Delhi their first win of the ISL 2026-27 season.
Fatorda, Goa: FC Goa had the better of the chances for long spells at Fatorda Stadium, but it took a free-kick delivered into the box deep into stoppage time to rescue a point from a side that had defended well and struck once on the break.
Goa press, Delhi hold firm
Goa threatened early. Samsanga narrowly missed at the far post in the eighth minute, and in the 19th a Goa goal was ruled out for offside after a through ball from Francisco Feuillassier. Muhammed Nemil shot just over the crossbar in the 37th minute as Goa kept pushing without reward before the break.
Pena makes Goa pay on the counter
Delhi turned a quick counter-attack into the lead in the 52nd minute. Rodrigunho set the move up and Juan Pena finished with his right foot. Goa had a chance to respond soon afterwards when Nemil found Feuillassier in the six-yard box, but goalkeeper Nora Fernandes made the save.
Vallejo’s late equaliser
The breakthrough came in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Feuillassier whipped a free-kick into the penalty area and Vallejo turned it past the goalkeeper to make it 1-1. Goa avoided a home defeat, while Delhi were denied their first win of the 2026-27 campaign.
Result (Indian Super League 2026-27, Fatorda Stadium, Wednesday 28 October 2026):
