Margao, Sep 17 (PTI) – In a thrilling encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats, Jamshedpur FC emerged victorious over FC Goa with a 2-1 win in their Indian Super League match held on Tuesday. The decisive moment came in stoppage time when substitute Jordan Murray, making a dramatic return to the club he left two years ago, curled a stunning shot into the net in the 90+3 minute, ensuring his team walked away with three crucial points.

The match, played at the iconic Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, saw FC Goa initially dominating the proceedings. The home team came out with great intensity, pressing hard against the Jamshedpur defence and creating several scoring opportunities. Their relentless efforts paid off just before halftime when Armando Sadiku capitalized on a lapse from Jamshedpur’s goalkeeper Albino Gomes to score in the 45+3 minute, giving FC Goa a 1-0 lead as they headed into the break.

Jamshedpur FC, under the tactical guidance of Khalid Jamil, made strategic adjustments in the second half. The introduction of Jordan Murray proved to be a game-changer. Before Murray’s heroics, Jamshedpur had already managed to level the score thanks to Javier Siverio. Siverio, showing exceptional composure, won and converted a penalty in the 75th minute, making it 1-1 and setting up a tense finish to the match.

As the game edged towards its conclusion, Murray seized his moment of brilliance. In stoppage time, he delivered an exquisite curling shot that left the home crowd in stunned silence and secured Jamshedpur’s victory in their ISL opener. Despite FC Goa’s dominance and initial lead, they were unable to capitalize on their advantage.

Looking ahead, Jamshedpur FC will next face Mumbai City FC on Saturday, while FC Goa is set to clash with Mohammedan SC on the same day in Kolkata. This match serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and thrilling nature of football, where fortunes can change in mere moments.
