After becoming the first team in the AFC Champions League's history to draw their first two games, FC Goa take on Iran's Persepolis FC in their third match of the group stages tonight. Two goalless draws against seemingly better opponents might be decent results but Juan Ferrando's side will be looking to make the most of the momentum that they have generated following an impressive attacking display against Al Wahda in their second game. But will they be able to put their chances away tonight against arguably the best team in the group?

FULL-TIME....
It's Full Tie at Goa and the Gaurs have gone down 2-1 against Persepolis. An expected outcome considering the stature of the opposition but Ferrando will be proud of his boys. However, Goa have to sort out their attacking shape ahead of the upcoming games. The forwards need to come into the game more.

1st effort at goal for Goa in this half..
84'
Redeem Tlang takes the first shot on target for this half coming in from the left but it's straight to Hamad.

Last 10 minutes to go..
80 minutes in and the first decent spell of possession for Goa in the second half ends in disappointment as nothing much comes of it.

Poor second half so far from Goa..
Juan Ferrando would be disappointed with his side's second half performance after yet another mispass from Amarjit this time. They just haven't gotten into the game..

Another good chance for Persepolis..
Another fluid move from Persepolis which results in a snapshot from Omid. Dheeraj gets down well but it's a corner..

Almost 70 minutes on the clock..
The game is getting increasingly edgy as Persepolis look for a third goal. The Gaurs are just about holding onto their chances of a comeback for now.
