ISL 2022-23: Feels nice that I could contribute – Noah Sadaoui after scoring against Chennaiyin FC

FC Goa forward Noah Sadaoui is delighted after he scored against Chennaiyin FC during Matchweek 3 of the ongoing Hero Indian Super League. The Gaurs defeated Marina Machans by 2-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Friday.

Redeem Tlang scored in the 11th minute to put his team in front. Subsequently, Noah Sadaoui was able to put the match to bed as he found the back of the net in the 90th minute.

FC Goa has got off to a perfect start in the ninth edition of the Hero ISL as they have won both of their matches so far.

“Very happy with the win and three points,” the forward told fcgoa.in after the match.

The striker gave credit to the collective effort of the team for their success against Chennayin FC.

“Yes, it feels nice that I could contribute, but the whole team did very well as a unit. It wasn’t an easy game, but we kept the fight going together and that’s the biggest reason for our victory.”

Noah’s late strike was his first-ever goal in the tournament and he felt grateful after scoring for the team.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity I got. Early on in the match, I understood that there were spaces in our opponents’ defence that I felt I could exploit, and I kept trying to do so. A part of the credit for my goal should also go to my teammates who were quite supportive, sending passes my way, perhaps seeing what I was trying to do,” he explained.

The Moroccan player is delighted with the good start his team has got in the ongoing season and said they will look to continue the good show.

“Well, we’ve got a good start to our campaign. Our position on the points table also gives us a lot of joy. Going forward, we must ensure that we maintain this over the course of the season,” Sadaoui said when asked about the mood in the Goa camp.

“Our next assignment is against Hyderabad FC and it’s another away match. Our focus now shifts to that game – we want to win and return to play our first home clash on a highly positive note,” he concluded.

FC Goa will next face defending champions Hyderabad FC on Saturday at G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium, Hyderabad.
