FC Goa side (Source: AFC)
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?
