2021 Durand Cup | Jamshedpur FC edge past Sudeva Delhi FC to kick-start season on a high
Indian Super League side Jamshe𒆙dpur FC edged past Sudeva Delhi FC by a solitary goal in their opening Durand Cup fixture, at the Mohun Bagan grou🦋nd, on Monday evening. In what was a cagey affair throughout, Lalruatmawia, an academy graduate of Jamshedpur FC, scored the winner in the 34th minute.
Jamshedpur FC reigned supreme but by only the finest of margins, defeating I-League side Sudeva Delhi FC by a goa💫l to nil (1-0) at the Mohun Bagan Athletic Club Ground on Monday.
The 💎Indian Super League (ISL) side successfully held on to their solitary goal lead, which was nicked by one of their academy graduates, Lalruatmawia in the 34th minute.
The first half was a cagey affair with neither side being able to get a strong foothold of the game. Jamshedpur fielded a team dominatꦜed by young academy players and re꧒serves, but so did Sudeva. However, the team from the capital had a better share of chances.
Much against the run of play, it was Jamshedpur who took the lead in the 34th minute. A speculative through ball wasn’t dea🌃lt with by the Sudeva defence, which put Jamshedpur’s Lalruatmawia through on goal and the youngster finished with fine aplomb for the opening goal, which eventually turned out to be the match-winner.
FC Bayern Munich U19 World Squad player Subho Paul squandered a gℱolden opportunity for Sudeva in the 61st minute, when the away side 🎉were awarded a penalty for handball. Subho stepped up for the spot-kick but had his effort comfortably saved by Jamshedpur goalkeeper Vishal Yadav.
Yadav was awarded the Man of t🅠he Match (MOTM) for his clean-sheet and penalty-saving h❀eroics.
Speaking after the game, the Jamshedpur goalkeeper said, “This is the biggest tournament that w𝔍e have been a part of post-pandemic this year. We are happy to have a win and a clean-sheet. We hope🐭 to carry the same intensity forward in our upcoming games.”
