ISL 2022: FC Goa’s assistant coach Clifford Miranda praises team spirit despite 0-2 loss to Mumbai City FC
Like most matches this season, FC Goa missed many chances to score and were punished for mistakes at the back. “We have a squad and that’s why we have a squad. When someone is not there, there is someone who steps up. And I think whoever came in today, it was a fantastic performance by the team, both individually as well as collectively. We created more chances, we defended well, we were good in positional play in attack, we were first to second balls, but this is just the story of our season. We get punished for mistakes that we make,” said Clifford Miranda in a post-match press conference, as per the ISL website.

If we take an early lead, it helps the team but then the penalty can go either way. I felt we created enough chances apart from the penalty to take the lead and win this game,” he added.
