Jamshedpur head coach Steve Coppell decided to use Andre Bikey in midfield for this game. Normally a centre-back, Bikey was used as a defensive midfielder to combat the influence of Mumbai City FC's Achille Emana.

The duo was once teammates at the Cameroon national team and their tussle proved to be an entertaining one. Bikey was successful to a fair degree in limiting Emana's influence on the game in the first half, but the Mumbai man managed to get going in the second. This resulted in Mumbai piling up waves of attacks on the Jamshedpur FC goal.
