KOLKATA: Jamshedpur FC defeated Mohammedan Sporting 2-0 at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

The visitors held the upper hand throughout the proceedings, taking eight shots on target as compared to the two of Mohammedan Sporting. Jamshedpur FC thus completed a league double over the home side, getting to 37 points from 21 games as a result of this win - trailing second-placed FC Goa (39) by two points, though the Gaurs have a game in hand (20).

The Red Miners did not have to wait for long to land the ball into the Mohammedan SC net. In the sixth minute, Imran again found an opening as his precise eye for Murray meant that he delivered him a sumptuous cross that the latter headed from the right side of the six yard box. The aerial effort was blocked, but Javi Hernandez pounced upon the second ball to try his luck. That, too, got lost amid a crowded Mohammedan SC box and it eventually required the finishing touch of Ritwik Das from very close range to bury the ball into the bottom left corner from his right foot to round off the move in the visitors’ favour.

In the 82nd minute due to Nikhil Barla powered the ball into the high centre of the net, playing a crucial role in sealing the three points for the Men of Steel.

Mohammedan SC will play their next clash against Odisha FC on February 28. Jamshedpur FC will be playing Kerala Blasters FC on March 1.
