Jamshedpur FC moved to the top of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) table with a dominant 3-0 win over Hyderabad FC at Athletic stadium in Bambolim, Goa on Tuesday to qualify for the semi-finals and also get in pole position to claim the League Winners’ Shield.
An own goal from Chinglensana SIngh (5’) set Jamshedpur FC on the way before goals from Peter Hartley (28’) and Daniel Chima Chukwu (65’) sealed the victory for Jamshedpur FC who were reduced to ten men after Mobhashir Rahman was sent off in the second half.
Owen Coyle’s men started on the front foot against Hyderabad FC who were missing many key players. Alex Lima had the chance in the 3rd minute to open the scoring from a free-kick in a dangerous area but saw his effort blocked.
However, Jamshedpur FC edged ahead two minutes later, when Mobhashir’s shot from the edge of the box from a partially cleared corner took two deflections to beat Gurmeet Singh in goal.
Hyderabad FC then took control of the ball possession but Jamshedpur were in their faces denying them any kind of space to build their attacks.
