JAMSHEDPUR: Jamshedpur FC beat Kerala Blasters FC 1-0 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Sunday, December 29, 2024.

A second-half strike by Pratik Chaudhari ensured that Jamshedpur FC broke the Kochi-based team’s six-game-long unbeaten streak against them. The Men of Steel accordingly jumped four positions from the eighth place to the fourth spot in the standings as a result of this win, now boasting 21 points from 12 matches.

Jamshedpur FC found the eventual breakthrough from a powerful shot taken by defender and Key Performer of the Match Pratik Chaudhari in the 61st minute.

The Kerala Blasters FC unit made repeated attempts to clear a cross earned by the Men of Steel, but Chaudhari pounced upon a loose ball and netted it into the bottom left corner to score only his third-ever ISL goal, and first since December 2021 (for BFC vs CFC).

Upon conceding this goal, Kerala Blasters FC have now gone an entire calendar year, i.e. 2024, without keeping an away clean sheet, despite playing 14 games on the road in this period.
