BENGALURU: Bengaluru FC defeated Jamshedpur FC 3-0 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25, on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
The Blues broke their three-game-long winless streak at home to progress to the fourth spot in the standings, with 31 points to their name from 20 matches.
Albino Gomes became the goalkeeper to save the most penalties in the ISL (seven) after denying Sunil Chhetri from the spot in the 12th minute.
Both Chhetri and Edgar Mendez functioned seamlessly in tandem in the 43rd minute to break the deadlock.
Chhetri made a quick restart after winning a foul on the left wing and caught the Jamshedpur FC defence off-guard with a slick delivery for Mendez, who caressed the ball into the bottom right corner from the centre of the box to get his side the lead.
Twelve minutes into the second half, Alberto Noguera stepped up on a free-kick from distance after Naorem Roshan Singh won a foul on the right flank. Noguera put in a long ball directed for defender Rahul Bheke positioned deep into the Jamshedpur FC box.
While goalkeeper Gomes placed him in a spot to thwart Bheke’s attempt, the ball failed to take a nick off his head and instead landed in the right side of the net directly to double Bengaluru FC’s advantage. Noguera scored again in the 82nd minute to complete the day for the winners.
Both Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC will play their next game against NorthEast United FC on February 13 and February 21 respectively.
