FC Goa goalscorer Richarlyson Barbosa – Gaur of the Match!

FC Goa finally got their first win of their ISL-3 campaign in their fifth game after Richarlyson Barbosa netted a superb 41st minute volley against Mumbai City FC to send the vociferous away fans into delirium. He became the third different goalscorer for the squad and will look to carry on with performances like this for the rest of the tournament.

The former Brazil international started as left full back and put in a superb shift through the 90 minutes. In the second half, he put in an excellent cross to the far post which was headed back across goal towards Robin Singh. He was a constant threat down the left hand side as he put in three good crosses into the opposition box. In addition to that, he made eight clearances and two blocks. His transition from attack to defence was excellent and his experience will be key to the Gaurs’ results for the rest of the tournament.
