Kalinga Super Cup: Goa hope to spoil Bagan's trophy hunt

Bhubaneswar: Two games won, two more to go. That’s the scenario for Kalinga Super Cup semifinalists, barring Mohun Bagan Super Giants who needed just one win to join the last four, as they look to book a place in the summit clash with another win on Wednesday.

“All four teams have the same target. And we are all in that moment of the competition where every game is very difficult,” India and FC Goa head coach Manolo Marquez said at Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday.

Marquez’s Goa will be vying it out with ISL Shield and Cup winners Mohun Bagan in an afternoon fixture and Jamshedpur FC are set to lock horns with Mumbai City FC in the game scheduled for the evening.

While the absence of the star foreigners in the ISL champions’ squad makes FC Goa the favourites in their last-four clash, their Spanish head coach is not ready to pay heed to the statistics. Bagan’s assistant coach Bastab Roy, who is leading in the absence of Jose Molina, admitted that they have a tough job against Goa.
