NorthEast United Shock FC Goa to End Super Cup Campaign in Style
NorthEast United FC ended their AIFF Super Cup 2025-26 campaign on a high with a stunning 2-1 victory over FC Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda. The Highlanders showed great character and resilience, coming from behind to beat one of the tournament favourites in an entertaining Group B encounter.
The first half was evenly contested, with FC Goa dominating possession and creating several chances. NorthEast United’s defence, led by Mirshad Michu in goal, stood tall to keep the game goalless at the break.
The second half came alive in dramatic fashion. FC Goa opened the scoring through Sahil Tavora in the 64th minute after a rebound fell kindly for him inside the box. However, NorthEast United responded almost immediately. Just four minutes later, Chema Núñez equalised with a composed finish following a quick counterattack that caught the Goan defence off guard.
Buoyed by the equaliser, the Highlanders pushed forward with renewed confidence and found the winner in the 76th minute. Defender Robin Yadav rose highest to meet a teasing cross, heading home to complete the turnaround and silence the Fatorda crowd.
Despite FC Goa’s late pressure, NorthEast United held firm to secure all three points and end their Super Cup journey with pride. The result showcased their fighting spirit, discipline, and belief, a perfect finish for a team that never stopped battling till the end.
While FC Goa have already booked their spot in the semi-finals, NorthEast United’s spirited win sends a strong message, that they are a team capable of matching and defeating the best on their day.
