Jamshedpur FC beat Goa 1-0 in ISL

Bambolim, Jan 28 (UNI): Jamshedpur FC inflicted a huge blow to FC Goa’s aspirations for a semi-final berth with a 1-0 win over the Gaurs in the 2021-22 Indian Super League (ISL) match played at the Athletic stadium here on Friday.

The win takes Owen Coyle’s men to second place in the league table but keeps Derrick Pereira’s men stuck at ninth place with four games without a win.

The solitary goal came through Daniel Chima Chukwu (49′) who scored on his first outing for the Men of Steel after signing for them in the January transfer window.

The match had an eventful start with Chukwu sending his left-footed shot narrowly wide off the mark. On the other end, Ivan Gonzalez hit the underside of the crossbar with a header. The rebound fell to Edu Bedia whose low shot was brilliantly saved by TP Rehenesh.

The first half was very feisty to say the least, which led to three yellow cards being handed out to Alex Lima, Anwar Ali and Daniel Chukwu. The injuries and stoppages led to four minutes of added time but neither team managed to break through the defenses and score the opening goal.

The second half started with JFC pushing for a goal and they got one through the debutant Chukwu whose volley was too powerful for Naveen Kumar.
