FC Goa in their second Final!
It's all over for Mumbai City FC! They tried hard but failed to score more than one goal. Just like the first half, the second 45 was also a high intensity one. After being quiet for some time, FC Goa also started to attack. There were plenty of chances on both sides of the pitch but none got converted. Naveen Kumar and Amrinder Singh were seen making some fine stops. It's quite odd that the Gaurs didn't get a goal to their name but they need to be praised for their good defending, especially in the second half. It's 5-2 on aggregate for Goa in Semi-Final 2 and they will take on Bengaluru FC for the silverware.

Entertaining half!
The first 45 minutes of Semi-Final 2 was full of fire and intensity. Mumbai City FC started in a breezy fashion as Rafael Bastos slotted one home in the sixth minute itself. They kept pressing forward after that but FC Goa somehow managed to hold on. The Gaurs have the upper hand in this contest after a dominating first leg and the onus is on the Islanders to take the initiative. Just one goal won't do it for them and they will need a barrage of goals in the next half to keep any hope. Do join us in a short while to find out what happens.

Mumbai look for a miracle in Goa
Bengaluru FC have booked their place in the Final now it's time to see who will join them. Hello and welcome to the second leg of Semi-Final 2. After demolishing Mumbai City in the first leg in Mumbai, FC Goa are almost through to the final. They have 5 away goals to play with and this should be a mere formality for the Gaurs. FC Goa have been superb at home throughout the campaign. They lost just once and won 7 games out of 9. They scored an outstanding 25 goals in this period in Goa. The hosts are well on course to reach their second final in ISL. Coming to the visitors, they have a task which almost seems impossible. Nothing less than 5 goals will do for Mumbai City FC and doing that in Gaurs' backyard will take some sort of a miracle to carve their name in history books. Saying that playing against Goa this season has been a nightmare for them would be an understatement. Mumbai City FC have conceded 12 goals against them and scored only once. Scores of 5-0, 2-0 and 5-1 don't make for good reading. They started the first leg well and also took the lead but after 25 minutes, Goa literally kicked them out of the park. Moudou Sougou and Co. will have to fight out of their skin tonight. Mumbai's last visit to Goa was not a memorable one either as it was here where they suffered their biggest defeat of the season. They lost 5-0 and will have to reverse that exact same score if they want to reach their first ever final in ISL. They will need some backing from the footballing Gods if they want to achieve this feat. Will we see a comeback of a lifetime or will it be a straight passage to the final for FC Goa? Join us in a bit to find out.
