At the start of the game, Chennaiyin FC came forward in an attacking mode and started pushing up into the opponent‘s half and forced pressure on the Jamshedpur defense. The visitors got a free kick within two minutes of the game. Connor Shields floated it into the box. Elsinho tried to head it in, but that had little power and an easy take for Jamshedpur‘s goalkeeper.
But Chennaiyin took little time to equalise. The central defender, Pratik Chaudhari of Jamshedpur shocked everyone in the 6th minute as he smashed into his own net with an effort to clear the ball so that it was out of the goalkeeper‘s hands. This gave the visitors a lead over Jamshedpur. Khalid Jamil, coach at Jamshedpur, sat on the bench visibly annoyed as his team started tumbling down early.

The remainder of the first half, on the other hand, they proceeded with their dominance and before the 20th minute, Chennaiyin showcased yet another great attacking movement for which Wilmar Jordan forwarded his well-timed headed effort towards Bikash Yumnam, who simply could not do justice in an open situation, to miss the chance for scoring a double lead.

At least in the 25th minute, there was an opening with Siverio Javi crossing the ball into his own six-yard box. His headed pass narrowly eluded the post with inches of clearance left to knock in the goal. At least the FC is getting back in action and fighting hard to break the defensive setup of Chennaiyin.
The game, to which the home side continued on instigating a break-through in finding their first opening goal wasn’t yet going to give as the sub brought by the goalkeeper remained sharp that saw them pull back Jamshedpur from a number of possibilities and subsequently thwart such opportunities with an epic strike coming straight from Nawaz brilliance by the magic he did to maintain his stand as an impeding one.

The Jamshedpur defense is yet to recover from the shocks given by the quick goals by the Chennaiyin.

Jamshedpur vs Chennaiyin:- Climax in the First Half

Wilmar Jordan was behind most of Chennaiyin‘s attacks and was a constant threat to Jamshedpur‘s goal. Mobashir of Jamshedpur received a yellow card in the 40th minute for a heavy foul on Irfan Yadwad. The foul was a bit harsh but did indicate the frustration that was growing among the Jamshedpur players as they failed to keep their opponents under control.
But it was not to be; Gomes, the Jamshedpur goalkeeper, made some excellent saves. One of his memorable saves came when he covered a shot from Jordan in a diving motion that made sure there was no more damage. Gomes‘s saving had been crucial to this tight scoreline, but defense for Jamshedpur would have to improve much if they were to deal with the fast-paced attacks launched by Chennaiyin.
The Second Half Heading into the halftime, Jamshedpur FC faces a challenge as it trails 3-0.
