Huge win for Jamshedpur FC
A convincing victory for the home team and this is also the first loss for FC Goa this season. It was all square at the halftime when Michael Soosairaj and Mourtada Fall both scored for their respective sides. But it completely changed in the second 45 when the hosts started creating more chances. They finally got their reward when Soosairaj scored his second of the match. It got even better for Jamshedpur FC when Memo struck a left-footer shot into the top corner and dealt a huge blow to Goa's chances of making a comeback. Sumeet Passi then put the icing on the cake when he scored the fourth goal of the evening to complete a brilliant performance for Jamshedpur FC. The Gaurs were completely outplayed this evening and they dearly missed the services of their star striker, Corominas.

GOALLLLLL
A sensational strike from Memo. High-class goal, that. Nicely floated corner inside the box. It's cleared out but finds Tiri inside the box. He kicks it but it's blocked out and falls gently to Memo who hits it first time with his left in to the top corner. No keeper in the world would have saved that.

Early chance for the home team
Lovely skills shown by Gourav Mukhi outside the box, dribbling past a couple of players. He then drills a left-footed shot inside the box but Mandar Rao Dessai cleared the danger. A bright start to the half.
46'
Second half
We are back underway for the second half.
It's all square at half time
The home team started brightly and took a well-deserved lead when Michael Soosairaj opened the scoring for them. They should have had a couple of goals more with the chances they were creating. Gourav Mukhi has been their standout player who has been running behind the opposition defence more often than not. As far as the away team is concerned, they did create some decent chances and Mourtada Fall eventually heads one past the keeper to get the equaliser. Ahmed Jahouh also had his chance which kissed the bar and went out. Other than that, it has been a good game so far. Hopefully, we will see the same in the second half as well.
Half time
It's 1-1- at halftime. An entertaining game of football it has been so far.
45'
Added time
1 minute added on. Can anyone take the lead before the half time whistle?

Nice feet
Lovely feet shown by Jackichand Singh. He cuts past a couple of players inside the box and shoots it with his right but straight in the hands of Subrata Paul.

Chances after chances for the home team
Gourav Mukhi was free on goal on the right-hand side. He shoots it across the face of the goal but nothing to worry for Mohammad Nawaz as it was not on target. Jamshedpur need to be clinical here with their finishing.

Off target

GOALLLLLL

Almost the second
Long diagonal pass from Mario Arques to set Gourav Mukhi free on goal. The striker controls it superbly with his right foot. Mohammad Nawaz came outside the box to pressurize him and Gourav Mukhi attempts a long range hit. Chips it over him but fails to find the target. Huge opportunity there to make it two.

Hits the post
Ahmed Jahouh's long ball finds Miguel Fernandez on the right. He is intercepted by Pratik Chowdhary but he fails to keep it in under his control. It deflects towards Hugo Boumous who drills a low shot with his right but it hits the post. Subrata Paul would have got to it if it was on target.

Can Goa keep their winning momentum?
Hello and welcome for Match 25 between Jamshedpur FC and FC Goa. It has been a decent start from the home team as they have not lost a single game so far. They have been scoring goals but they are conceding as well as they have not found a perfect combination yet. 7 different players from 3 different nationalities have been on the scoresheet for Jamshedpur this season and Sergio Cidoncha, Farukh Choudhary have been the most influential figures for them. The away team, FC Goa, on the other hand, are flying high and are a team to beat this season as they are scoring almost 2 goals per match which is brilliant. Ferran Corominas has been in scintillating form for the Gaurs and his absence today will be a huge factor. Good thing for them is that they have other scorers like Edu Bedia and Jackichand Singh who have shown good form as well. Even though FC Goa are favourites but counting out Jamshedpur will not be a good idea. So it will be an interesting game between these two. Do join us in some time for the game.
