Fatorda (Goa), Sep 17 (SocialNews.XYZ) – In a thrilling start to their Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season, Jamshedpur FC managed a dramatic comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over FC Goa at the Fatorda Stadium on Tuesday night. The match saw Jamshedpur trailing 1-0 until the 74th minute, but late goals from Javier Siverio and Jordan Murray ensured the Red Miners clinched all three points in this intense away fixture.

From the outset, Jamshedpur FC’s goalkeeper Albino Gomes was instrumental in keeping his team competitive. FC Goa’s Armando Sadiku and Carl McHugh tested Gomes with several long-range shots in both halves. However, Gomes, using his height and reflexes, successfully thwarted their efforts, making crucial saves to keep his team in the game.

The breakthrough for FC Goa came during the added time of the first half. Midfielder Rowllin Borges skillfully advanced the ball and delivered a precise pass to Sadiku. With just seconds before the half-time whistle, Sadiku, who joined FC Goa from Mohun Bagan Super Giant over the summer, seized the moment and skillfully blasted the ball past Gomes, giving FC Goa a 1-0 lead.

As the game progressed into its final 30 minutes, Jamshedpur FC ramped up their intensity. The turning point came when Siverio was fouled by Onei Onaindia inside the penalty area. Siverio calmly converted the penalty, leveling the scores at 1-1 in the 74th minute. Instead of settling for a draw, Jamshedpur’s head coach Khalid Jamil opted for an aggressive approach, continuously pressuring FC Goa’s defense.

Their persistence paid off in stoppage time. Jamshedpur’s Mobashir Rahman delivered an exquisitely weighted lobbed pass to Jordan Murray on the left flank. Murray controlled the ball with a deft touch, maneuvered into position outside the box, and unleashed a powerful shot aimed at the left post. The ball ricocheted off the post and found its way into the back of the net in the 93rd minute, sealing a dramatic victory for Jamshedpur FC.

Looking ahead, FC Goa will face Mohammedan SC on September 21, while Jamshedpur FC is set to compete against Mumbai City FC on the same day. This match has set a high bar for what promises to be an exhilarating ISL season.
