FC Goa were knocked out of the AFC Champions League Two preliminary round on Wednesday after a 0-3 defeat to Turkmenistan's FK Arkadag in Ashgabat. All three goals came in the second half, with Didar Durdyyew, Rahman Myratberdiýew and Arzuwguly Sapargulyyew scoring for the hosts. The result sends Goa into the third-tier AFC Challenge League. Indian fans could not watch the match live. Sportstar reports that broadcast rights for preliminary rounds are held by the home club, and FK Arkadag did not make the game available to Indian broadcasters or streaming platforms. In contrast, East Bengal's playoff against Al Arabi was streamed on FanCode.
