Second half begins

8:34 PM

Half-time report: The 1-1 scoreline in the first-half of the game between Jamshedpur FC and FC Goa at JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur is deceptive given how Jamshedpur dominated it, except few momentary lapses, one of which caused them a goal leading to the half-time scoreline.

 

Jamshedpur started on the fifth gear and had their first opportunity of the game in the very second minute when Arques skipped past his man and floated a diagonal pass to Gourav Mukhi who took his shot from the right inside the box but Nawaz parried it away. From then on, it was a torrent of Jamshedpur attacks during which they created goal-scoring chance after chance with their forwards going close but not scoring the opening goal. That stopped in the 17th minute when Jamshedpur got a corner which Memo headed down inside the box, the ball trickled towards the far post and Soosairaj hammered it home to make it 1-0.

 

Goa found the going tough and were, on most occasions, unable to bring the ball out of their own half with Jamshedpur constantly putting the pressure.

 

Goa did go close in the 26th minute when Boumous latched on to a ball outside the Jamshedpur box and drove his shot towards the bottom right corner but his shot could only rattle the woodwork.

 

Jamshedpur had a great chance to double their lead in the 31st minute when Mukhi brought down a cross in the Goa half under control with Nawaz trying to challenge him to the ball despite being well off his line. Mukhi tried to chip the ball up and over into the net but missed his target.

 

But Goa didn't, two minutes later, when Fall equalised for them. Goa, too, scored from a setpiece. Boumouh delivered his free-kick from the right at the near post which was headed down by a Goa player before it fell to Fall who at slotted it home with a diving header.

 

Jamshedpur had one more chance in the 38th minute when Cidoncha put his free-kick to the far post where Memo peeled off his marker and had the goalpost at his mercy but instead blazed his effort up and over the bar.

8:17 PM

Minute 45 -- One minute of additional time

8:14 PM

Minute 39 -- Another chance for Jamshedpur as Rodrigues is robbed off the ball while trying to backhell it, setting off Mukhi who gets into the box on the right and tries to clip the far post but it's tipped by the goalkeeper to go out of play

8:13 PM

Minute 38 -- Jamshedpur get a free-kick a little and Cidoncha plays it to the far post where Memo peels off his marker and has the goalpost at his mercy but instead blazes his effort up and over

8:07 PM

Minute 33 (GOAL!!) -- Goa score from a setpiece. Fall scores!! Boumouh delivers his free-kick from the right at the near post which is headed down by a Goa player before it falls to Fall who at the face of the goal and he, with a diving header, slots it home. Jamshedpur 1-Goa 1

8:07 PM

Minute 31 -- Jamshedpur go on a counter attack with Nawaz, for some reason, well and truly off his line and looks to challenge Mukhi off his line. The Jamshedpur player comfortably brings down the cross before trying to chip it into the goal but it misses the target. What a howler that could have been!

8:03 PM

Minute 30 -- Boumouh receives a cross inside the box, chests it well and looks to crcoss it across the face but loses it footing. Goa do get a corner though that comes to nothing

7:59 PM

Minute 26 -- Goa go close!! Boumous latches on to a ball outside the Jamshedpur box and eyes the bottom right corner but can only rattle the woodwork. Uff!!

7:55 PM

Minute 23 -- Goa make a rare foray into the Jamshedpur half with a string of short passes and Boumous tries to find Jackichand in the left flank with a slicing pass but his shot is easily cut out

7:50 PM

Minute 17 (GOAL!!) -- Soosairaj scores!! The opening goal for Jamshedpur was coming any time and it's now. It starts with a corner that's headed down by memo and the ball trickles towards the far post where Soosairaj, completely unmarked, hammers it home to make it 1-0 for Jamshedpur

7:50 PM

Minute 15 -- Memo slices the ball to Morgado on the right who crosses it low first time into the box. Fall deals with it well and clears the danger
