How often do we see a side engage in good build-up play, only to squander their efforts in the final third of the pitch? NEUFC and Jamshedpur were both guilty of complacency when it mattered most.

There were times when the Highlanders managed to cut through the opposition with relative ease but their players were simply not ruthless enough to finish off their moves. Jamshedpur, on the other hand, did well to create spaces down the wings, but once again, the final ball never had enough quality to trouble the centre-backs.
