Coro bagged his first goal of the night when a corner made its way to Ahmed Jahouh who crossed it back in for the Spaniard to head home. On the stroke of half-time, Coro made it eight goals for the season when he cut in from the left, and planted the shot beyond Naveen Kumar.

Manvir Singh, lost his marker Sandesh Jhingan during a corner and he headed it home to seal the game for the visiting team. Len Doungel tried his hardest, first drawing a good save out of Mohammed Nawaz and setting up Vineeth afterwards, whose weak finish was cleared off the line.

Nikola Krcmarevic converted Jhingan’s low cross but it was a mere consolation for the Blasters, who now have seven points from as many games. Goa are top of the table with 16 points from six matches.
