Two strikes in the first half from Nikalos Karelis (21st min) and Yoell van Niff (40th min) were sufficient for the Islanders as the spot-kick that Armando Sadiku (55th min) converted for the home side in the second half of the game came as consolation.
The win for the Petr Kratky-coached unit was spearheaded by their Dutch midfielder Van Nieff, whose sublime skill sets in the offensive half of the field helped the visitors pierce through a well-organised FC Goa backline repeatedly.
