Mohammedan Sporting Club will host FC Goa in the first game of Match Week 2 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. Mohammedan Sporting lost 0-1 to Jamshedpur FC in their season opener, while FC Goa drew 1-1 with Inter Kashi after initially falling behind.
Under head coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo, Mohammedan SC fielded an all-Indian squad in their first match, displaying defensive discipline and tactical organization but lacking sharpness in attack. Wadoo acknowledged the team’s need for improvement in converting chances and emphasized the importance of playing better attacking football in the upcoming match.
FC Goa, led by coach Manolo Márquez, are looking to bounce back after dropping points in their first game. Despite dominating possession against Inter Kashi, missed opportunities cost them. With a strong mix of Indian talent and experienced foreign players, FC Goa aims to start strong against Mohammedan Sporting.
Both teams face contrasting styles, with Mohammedan’s disciplined defense against FC Goa’s possession-based approach. The clash promises an intense encounter as Mohammedan seeks to avoid consecutive defeats and FC Goa aims to showcase their quality and competitiveness early in the season.
