JRD Tata Sports Complex: Indian Super League (ISL) club Jamshedpur FC beat Nepal’s Tribhuvan Army FC by a 3-2 scoreline at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur in the Group C opener on Thursday.

Sarthak Golui and Manvir Singh got on the scoresheet in the opening half, while Nikhil Barla scored the third after coming off the bench, as the Men of Steel made a winning start to their Durand Cup campaign.

Golui broke the deadlock from a long throw-in early in the game, capitalising on the opponent’s clumsy defensive line to put the hosts up front. Khalid Jamil’s men continued to create chances in the early phase, but Tribhuvan Army FC found the equaliser in the 26th minute against the run of play.
