Bambolim, Oct 28: NorthEast United FC will square off against Jamshedpur FC in their Group ‘B’ clash of the AIFF Super Cup 2025-25 at the GMC Athletic Stadium, Bambolim, here on Wednesday.
In their tournament opener, NEUFC had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Inter Kashi FC. Meanwhile, Jamshedpur FC suffered a 0-2 defeat against FC Goa in their opener.
On the eve of the match, NEUFC’s head coach, Juan Pedro Benali, expressed hope that his team would learn from the past and remain focused on the game ahead, an NEUFC media statement said.
“We hope we have learnt from our past matches and we are fully focused on the game ahead. We know Jamshedpur FC very well, and they know us just as well. It’s going to be a tactical affair, and we have our game plan in place, and the team is ready to give everything on the pitch,” Benali said.
Moroccan striker Alaaeddine Ajaraie, who bagged the Golden Boot and Golden Ball during NorthEast United FC’s triumphant Durand Cup campaign earlier this season with eight goals and four assists, was once again on target in the opening match, assisted brilliantly by left-back Tondonba Singh.
