There was no Tom but two Jerry's on the pitch tonight. 20-year old Jerry Mawihmingthanga has always been lively down the right wing for Jamshedpur. 19-year old, Jerry Lalrinzuala has been a dependable figure for Chennaiyin as left-back.

Today, the both of them were involved in an intriguing battle down the flank. It was Jamshedpur's Jerry who came out on top in the first half. He created the best chance for his team, stealing the ball off the other Jerry before whipping in a delightful ball for Farukh who missed a sitter from close range.

Chennai's left back found it tough to deal with the pace and energy of his namesake who ran riot and wasn't afraid to take on his marker. Ultimately it was a close battle between two promising, young players.
