If there was a player who was more relaxed than anyone, it has to be Jamshedpur goalkeeper Subrata Paul. Apart from one or two occasions, he didn’t have much to do, thanks to the superb defending by Jamshedpur players.

Once again, Tiri showed his class with perfect blocks and clearances. For the entire match, he kept Moudou Sougou quiet, who has been in a prolific form this season.

On the other hand, Paulo Machado too didn’t get many chances to create danger. The defenders also made Rafael Bastos ineffective, who too is having a good season.

The one problem that needs to be solved immediately is the position of Pratik Choudhary. Playing as a central defender, Pratik miscued the ball too many times.

His poor back pass would’ve led to a goal, had Subrata not saved them on the occasion. His rough challenges also earned him a booking in the first half.
