Istiklol Secures 2-0 Victory Over FC Goa in AFC Champions League Two
Hisor, Tajikistan – FC Istiklol defeated India’s FC Goa 2-0 in a crucial Group D match of the AFC Champions League Two on October 1, 2025. The contest, held at the Hisor Central Stadium in Tajikistan, saw the home side clinch a vital win, handing FC Goa their second consecutive defeat in the continental tournament.
The loss leaves the Indian Super League side without any points after two games in the group stage. FC Goa, who qualified for the tournament after their Super Cup 2025 triumph, had previously lost their opening home game 0-2 against Iraqi side Al-Zawraa SC.

Despite a determined effort, Manolo Marquez’s team was unable to find the back of the net against the Tajik champions.
For FC Istiklol, the result marked a significant turnaround. The 13-time Tajik League champions were looking to bounce back after a heavy 0-5 defeat to Al Nassr in their first match of the tournament.
This victory gives them their first three points in the campaign, placing them in a better position within the group.
The match was a stern test for FC Goa, who faced a team with a strong home record. Both teams entered the match seeking to register their first points, but it was Istiklol who capitalized on their chances to secure the win.
The Gaurs will now need to regroup as they look ahead to their remaining fixtures in the competition, aiming to keep their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages alive.
