Pax of Nagoa salvaged a 1-1 draw against FC Goa in a Goa Professional League fixture on Friday. Joseph Clemente's early own goal gave FC Goa an advantage, but Pax's Velroy Fernandes secured a late equaliser in the 89th minute.

 FC Goa initially dominated, with Ozen Silva making crucial saves, including a one-on-one with Salgeo Dias. Despite constant pressure, Pax resiliently grew into the game, creating chances. The match intensified in the last ten minutes, with Nickson Castanha's near-lethal shot narrowly missing.

Fernandes capitalised on a loose ball, lobbing it over FC Goa defenders and the goalkeeper, resulting in a 1-1 deadlock.
