      Season Summary


      4 October: FC Goa rode on two first half goals
      scored by Mandar Rao Dessai (3’) and
      Reinaldo da Cruz Oliveira (45+3’) to beat Delhi
      Dynamos FC in their opening fixture of the
      league stage that began with three back to
      back matches at their home fortress.
      7 October: FC Goa came back brilliantly to
      hold Atletico de Kokata to a 1–1 draw as
      Keenan Almeida (82’) scored a stunner after
      Arata Izumi (13’) had given Antonio Lopes
      Habas’ side the lead in a fiery tie that saw the
      sending off of Baljit Sahni (62’).
      11 October: A result to forget was the first
      defeat in this season. FC Goa went down to
      4–0 defeat at the hands of Chennaiyin FC in
      Match 9 where Elano Blumer, who scored in
      the 43rd minute, assisted two of Stiven
      Mendoza's goals in the Colombian's hat-trick
      (10’, 63’, 75’).
      15 October: The Gaurs got their ISL campaign
      back on track with an emphatic 3–1 victory
      over NorthEast United FC at the Indira Gandhi
      Athletic Stadium in Guwahati. After Francis
      Dadzie scored the 12th-minute opener,
      Jonatan Lucca (27’), Reinaldo (30’) and
      Mandar (70’) completed the comeback for FC
      Goa.
      22 October: FC Goa came from behind once
      again and reclaimed the top spot with a 2–1
      win over Kerala Blasters FC as Leo Moura
      (45+1’) cancelled Mohammed Rafi's 24th-minute lead while Gregory Arnolin sealed the
      victory in the 84th minute.
      25 October: The winning run came to a halt
      after Mumbai City FC registered a 2–0 win
      over the league leaders in Mumbai. In what
      was FC Goa striker Darryl Duffy's last match of
      the season where the Scot was ruled out due
      to a hairline fracture, Sunil Chhetri's penalty
      (33’) and Frederic Piquonne's header (49’)
      were enough to give the home team all three
      points.
      30 October: The Virat Kohli co-owned FC Goa
      remained afloat in the top half with a 1–1
      draw against FC Pune City in which an own
      goal scored by Roger Johnson (46’) was
      cancelled by Eugeneson Lyngdoh in the 64th
      minute.
      5 November: FC Goa gifted Virat Kohli with a
      2–0 win over Chennaiyin FC. On his debut,
      Rafael Coelho Luiz won both the penalties that
      were converted by Leo Moura (64’) and
      Jonatan Lucca (78’) as the Gaurs recorded
      their second away win of the season.
      Harmanjot Khabra was sent off in the 89th
      minute wherein the Chennaiyin player put his
      studs on Moura's right leg.
      8 November: As it almost looked as a win for
      the league leaders, Adrian Mutu (90+4’)
      handed the Goan franchise with a
      heartbreaker at the death. In the thrilling round
      nine clash, Eugeneson Lyngdoh had bagged
      the opener in the 32nd minute. Rafael (34’)
      and Jonatan Lucca (44’) brought FC Goa back
      into the game but for the unthinkable to
      happen at the last minute.
      17 November: FC Goa hammered Mumbai City
      FC 7–0 to record the biggest victory in the
      history of the competition. Thongkhosiem
      Haokip (34’, 52’, 79’) and Dudu Omagbemi
      (42’, 64’, 67’) scored more than just their first
      goals in FC Goa colours, with former bagging
      the 100th goal in the ISL 2015, while Reinaldo
      (90’) scored his third of the season.
      22 November: FC Goa have not only remained
      winless against Atletico de Kolkata but also
      lost 4–0 to the ISL 2014 champions. Sameehg
      Doutie (20’, 78’), Borja Fernandez (22’) and
      Iain Hume (68’) were the scorers for this
      season's semifinalists.
      25 November: It was the last home match of
      the season for FC Goa in the league stage
      where Zico's troops came from behind to hold
      NorthEast United FC 1–1 and Leo Moura
      bagged the "DHL winning pass" award for the
      most number of assists (6, now 8) provided
      for his side in the ISL this year. Victor
      Mendy's 56th-minute goal was cancelled by
      Reinaldo in the 80th minute.
      29 November: FC Goa blasted their way into
      semifinals thrashing Kerala Blasters FC 5–1.
      The Blasters’ second-minute lead scored by
      Victor Herrero Forcada was annulled by Jofre
      Mateu Gonzalez in the 12th minute. The Gaurs
      also had their third hat-trick hero in Reinaldo
      da Cruz Oliveira (29’, 50’, 61’) while Mandar
      Rao Dessai (64’) joined the party to ensure a
      comfortable win. The home team had to play
      the second half with 10 men following the
      sending off of Josu Carrias.
      6 December: Having already made it to the
      final four, FC Goa rallied back from two goals
      down at half-time to beat Delhi Dynamos FC
      3–2 in an exciting clash and finished on top of
      the standings at the end of the league stage,
      drawing the same opponents in the
      semifinals. Serginho Green (31’) and Adil Nabi
      (40’) gave the Lions a 2–0 lead in the first half
      but the away team scored three goals in the
      second half via a brace scored by Romeo
      Fernandes (68’, 69’) and Jofre Mateu
      Gonzalez (90’) to snatch all three points.
      11 December: FC Goa succumbed a 1–0 loss
      to Delhi Dynamos FC in the first leg of the
      semifinals in Delhi. Robin Singh's 42nd-minute
      goal made the difference as the two teams
      headed into the second leg of the semifinals
      in Goa on 15 December with the Delhi
      franchise leading 1–0 on aggregate.
      15 December: FC Goa scripted their maiden
      final appearance crushing Delhi Dynamos FC
      3–0 in the second leg of their semifinal. Jofre
      Mateu Gonzalez (11’), Rafael Coelho Luiz (27’)
      and Dudu Omagbemi (84’) were the
      goalscoring heroes for the Goan franchise
      who were backed by a deafening home
      support. Adil Nabi was given the marching
      orders by referee Pranjal Banerjee due to the
      Delhi player's indiscipline on the bench after
      he was already substituted.
