The first half didn’t rise to any great heights despite both the sides having their chances to score.
Jamshedpur FC were awarded a penalty just head of the hour mark for a foul on Nigerian striker Izu Azuka by Pratik Chowdhary. But the Steel town team had to wait a little longer for their first-ever ISL goal as Andre Bikey’s weak effort was saved by Albino Gomes.
But then in the 61st minute a Mehtab Hossain free-kick was headed in by Azuka to finally give Jamshedpur FC a deserving lead. Soon after Trindade Goncalves could have made it 2-0, but he missed an easy chance.
Towards the end the game finally opened up with end to end action, but it remained 1-0 in favour of Jamshedpur FC to score their first-ever ISL victory.
