HeroISL: Goa open winning account by beating Delhi Dynamos

FC Goa have secured their first win of the 2014 Indian Super League with a 2-1 triumph over Delhi Dynamos.

Zico's Goa side came from a goal down to edge Delhi who were served by an early opener from Mads Junker at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda.

The Danish striker received a neat pass from Bruno Herrera before finishing on the second attempt in the seventh minute prior to Goa's leveler which came in the 73rd minute.

Jewel Raja was the man to put Goa on even terms when he headed home Romeo Fernandes' cross before the home side grabbed an injury-time winner.

Australian forward Tolgay Ozbey, who came off the bench just before the hour-mark, got on the end of a lofted pass from Miroslav Sepicka before rounding Delhi keeper Kristof van Hout and finishing into an open net for the victory.

Goa now sit sixth on the ISL table with four points ahead of their November 6 meeting with fifth Kerala Blasters while Delhi, who occupy fourth spot, travel to bottom-placed Mumbai City FC on November 5.
