FC Goa lost four out of their first six matches but came back strongly in the second half of the tournament with five victories from their last eight encounters keeping five clean sheets in their 14 matches. Overall, Zico has done a remarkable job with six wins, four defeats and four draws, which took them to the second spot of the standings with 22 points.{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldgoa.in/Sports/FC-Goa-out-to-make-Believe-Strike-and-Inspire-in-epic-semis-today/82212.html|title=FC Goa out to make Believe, Strike and Inspire in epic semis today|website=heraldgoa.in|access-date=16 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171213203939/http://www.heraldgoa.in/Sports/FC-Goa-out-to-make-Believe-Strike-and-Inspire-in-epic-semis-today/82212.html|archive-date=13 December 2017|url-status=live}} By finishing second in the league, the club qualified for the end-of-season play-offs, where they lost via a penalty shootout against Atlético de Kolkata in the semi-finals after a goalless draw.{{cite news|title=ISL: Atletico de Kolkata beat FC Goa to reach final|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/indian-super-league/top-stories/ISL-Atletico-de-Kolkata-beat-FC-Goa-to-reach-final/articleshow/45553641.cms|access-date=31 August 2015|work=The Times of India|date=17 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217230942/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/indian-super-league/top-stories/ISL-Atletico-de-Kolkata-beat-FC-Goa-to-reach-final/articleshow/45553641.cms|archive-date=17 December 2014|url-status=live}} Particularly encouraging from the first season was the arrival of Romeo Fernandes on the national footballing scene.

Zico lined up an impressive team ahead of the season with veteran players like Leonardo Moura, Reinaldo Oliveira, and former La Masia youth product, Joffre Mateu who won the first season of the ISL with Atletico de Kolkata joining the ranks.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} Frenchman, Gregory Arnolin was the only international player retained from the first season with the club. The Indian contingent had familiar faces in Goan wingers Romeo Fernandes and Mandar Rao Dessai and goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}

FC Goa started the season in superb fashion with a commanding 2–0 victory over Delhi Dynamos and that set the tone for the season ahead. Under Zico's tutelage, FC Goa played an attacking brand of football and set the league alight as they finished the league stage of the campaign on top of the standings with 25 points, two clear of the second placed team with 7 victories along the way.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} In the process, FC Goa scored the most goals in the league stage, having netted 29 times.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} En route to the semi-finals, the Gaurs earned the record of having attained the highest margin of victory when they beat Mumbai City FC 7–0 in Fatorda. This victory included two players scoring hat-tricks (Dudu Omagbemi and T. Haokip) which was a first in the history of the league. After a 1–0 loss in the first leg of the semi-finals against Delhi Dynamos, FC Goa turned the tie on its head with a dominating 3–0 win at home. This provided them with a chance to win the ISL title at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda in front of the home fans. In the finals, a late surge by Chennaiyin FC saw FC Goa lose out on the title after a well contested match.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}

FC Goa had a poor 2016 season after finishing last in the table and picking up only four victories throughout the season. They ended the disappointing season with 14 points and finished last in the table. Zico primarily blamed late preparations for FC Goa's failure which was caused due to the incoming of new owners just a few months before the start of the new season. His 3-year contract with FC Goa ended and did not renew it with the club.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}
