Kalinga Super Cup: Jamshedpur Eliminate NorthEast United Via Sudden Death To Book SF Berth
Kalinga Super Cup: Jamshedpur FC secured a hard-fought semi-final spot in Kalinga Super Cup 2025 after edging NorthEast United FC 5-4 in a dramatic quarter-final penalty-shootout at the Kalinga Stadium on Sunday. The match had ended in a stalemate after regulation time, forcing a nervy penalty shootout that went into sudden death.
Jamshedpur have proven to be a thorn in Juan Pedro Benali’s side after having been knocked out of the ISL Playoffs with a 2-0 win on March 30.
Khalid Jamil’s men showed great composure under pressure, even after Jordan Murray and Stephen Eze missed during the initial set of five penalties. NorthEast United had their own share of troubles, with Guillermo Fernandez and Michel Zabaco missing their early attempts. Despite rallying to tie the shootout at 3-3, NorthEast faltered in sudden death when Asheer Akhtar skied his shot, while Ashutosh Mehta and Lazar Cirkovic converted for Jamshedpur.
