ISL 2024-25: Gritty Jamshedpur See Off Punjab FC 2-1, Move To Third Spot
Jamshedpur FC broke the deadlock through Pratik Chaudhuri’s header in the 41st minute and later Javi Hernandez doubled the lead early in the second half. Punjab FC tried their level best to salvage something from the game but Ezequiel Vidal’s goal remained only as a consolation. With this defeat, Punjab FC are now winless in seven consecutive games this season (2D, L5). The hosts started the game proactively as they pegged back Jamshedpur FC’s backline with a flurry of attacks. Meanwhile, the visitors were looking for opportunities to break on the counter-attacks.
Courtesy of Punjab FC’s sustained pressure, the first chance of the game fell to Luka Majcen in the eighth minute. The move was started by Asmir Suljic before he released Muhammad Suhail on the right flank. The youngster found Majcen with a telling cross but his eventual attempt was saved by Albino Gomes. In the meantime, Jamshedpur FC also made a few inroads involving Javier Siverio and Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) graduate Mohammed Sanan. The Men of Steel were heavily dependent on their left channel, and despite some trouble, Punjab FC’s defence did enough to keep them at bay.
