Torrential
rain
delayed
kick-off
but
didn’t
dampen
Jamshedpur
FC’s
spirits
as
they
got
their
noses
in
front
after
just
three
minutes.
Ricky
Lallawmawma’s
low
cross
from
the
left
flank
was
blocked
by
Thoiba
Singh
but
the
rebound
fell
to
Daniel
Chukwu
before
the
Nigerian
smashed
the
ball
into
the
net
with
his
left
foot.

In
the
tenth
minute,
The
Red
Miners
established
a
two-goal
cushion.
Yet
again,
it
was
Lallawmawma
playing
a
low
cross
from
the
left
flank.
This
time
it
was
Boris
Singh
who
managed
to
get
on
the
end
of
it
for
a
tap-in
at
the
far
post.

The
Juggernauts
reduced
the
deficit
seven
minutes
later.
Raynier
Fernandes
rolled
the
ball
towards
Diego
Mauricio
near
the
edge
of
the
box.
The
Brazilian
was
given
too
much
space
before
he
curled
and
tucked
his
effort
inside
the
far
post.

Farukh
Choudhary
sprinted
down
the
left
flank
and
his
cross
found
its
way
to
Wellington
Priori.
The
Brazilian’s
shot
was
brilliantly
blocked
by
Amrinder
Singh.
At
the
other
end,
minutes
later,
Jerry
Mawihmingthanga
snuck
inside
the
box
from
the
right
flank,
took
the
ball
on
his
left
foot
and
was
inches
away
from
curling
the
ball
into
the
top-left
corner.

In
the
67th
minute,
Pedro
Martin
found
himself
in
a
one-on-one
situation
with
TP
Rehenesh
as
the
JFC
defence
searched
for
an
offside
flag.
The
Spanish
substitute
saw
his
effort
saved
brilliantly
by
the
Jamshedpur
FC
shot-stopper.

The
match
was
then
tied
with
two
minutes
in
regulation
time
to
go.
Odisha
FC
substitutes
Isak
Vanlalruatfela
and
Isaac
Chhakchhuak
combined
brilliantly
on
the
right
flank.
Vanlalruatfela
pulled
it
back
for
Chhakchhuak,
who
smashed
the
ball
into
the
back
of
the
net.

The
comeback
was
complete
in
second-half
stoppage
time.
Vanlalruatfela
was
involved
in
the
move
again
as
the
21-year-old
picked
out
Mauricio
with
an
inch-perfect
ball
before
the
striker
fired
in
his
second
of
the
night
and
the
winning
goal
for
Odisha
FC.

The
Juggernauts
and
The
Red
Miners
will
both
travel
to
the
West
coast
on
different
