Jamshedpur FC VS Bengaluru FC

That's all folks. We will meet again on Thursday where FC Goa will host Chennaiyin FC. That match will begin at 1930 IST. Till then, take care and cheers!

The Club Award goes to Jamshedpur FC as they won the game. The Limitless Player of the Match is awarded to Pablo Morgado. The Winning Pass of the Match is given to Carlos Calvo. The Emerging Player of the Match is Jerry Mawhmingthanga and the Hero of the Match is Michael Soosairaj.

First half ended on level terms but the second has given Jamshedpur a historical win. As soon as the second half started, the hosts took control as Michael Soosairaj handed them the lead with a beautiful curling goal. The Miners then kept on attacking and each attack they made turned out to be a goal. Pablo Morgado bagged a brace while Carlos Calvo got his name on the scoresheet as well to make it 5-1 in the blink of an eye. Pablo, in fact, had a golden chance to score a hat-trick but he failed to react in time to a beautiful cross in front of goal that needed a simple tap-in. Bengaluru FC fought hard at the beginning of the game but once the home side took a 4-goal lead by the end of the 61st minute, their misery piled up and they lost hope to make a comeback. The manager's gamble to give opportunities to the new faces didn't work out well as the Blues succumbed to a heavy defeat. Anyway, the crux of the matter is that Bengaluru FC are still in the semis and this defeat won't bother them much. They would look forward to tidying up their game and show better football in the playoffs.

Frustration starting to build in the Bengaluru FC's camp. Edmund Lalrindika tackles Tiri from behind and brings him down. The referee spots it and is unhappy about it. He though leaves Edmund with a warning.

This is the last thing Bengaluru FC wanted after going down so miserably. In a bid to win the 50-50 ball, Gursimrat Singh jumps and tries to kick the ball. But he fails to make any contact and the contact he makes is with Pablo Morgado's body. The referee finds it dangerous and has no qualms in flashing the second yellow card. He is off.

Jamshedpur FC to begin the second half.

A half with two goals due to defensive errors at either side of the pitch. First, it was Jamshedpur FC, in which, Augustin Fernandes was lazy in clearing the ball and served it in the plate for Boithang Haokip and then in an act of redemption, Augustin Fernandes took advantage of the defensive mistake made by Soram Poirei as he slotted the equalizer from a very narrow angle. Overall, Jamshedpur FC had the better possession in the first half but Bengaluru FC looked the most threatening. They also won a penalty but Xisco Hernandez failed to convert. We are expecting some cracking action post this break as well. Do join us in a short while.

Match 86 of this year's ISL and this is also the last chance to watch Jamshedpur FC playing this season. It's been a pretty ordinary edition for the home team where they struggled for consistency in their performance. They played out plenty of draws and their inefficiency to close games eventually proved to be their wrongdoing. Now, it's the last chance for them to please their fans by bagging a consolation win over the league toppers. Bengaluru FC, on the other hand, would also be looking to build on their previous win and enter into the playoffs with good positive momentum. The Blues were experiencing a dip in their form post the winter break but then they managed to arrest that fall with a heroic performance against FC Goa. The fact that they outclassed the Gaurs with 10 men speaks volumes about their potential and to add to that, they were playing without a few star players. All in all, Bengaluru will be high on confidence and would aim to steamroll the Miners in their last league game. It ended 2-2 earlier this season between these two teams and let's hope for a winner this evening.
