#2 Tiri has Coro in wraps as the first half ends goalless

For the entirety of the first half, Coro was relatively quiet as he entered the game looking for his 29th goal in the competition, which would make him ISL's all-time leading goalscorer. He is presently tied at the top with Ian Hume.

Goa's talisman, however, barely had any space to work with. Neither did his side cross enough, nor did they work hard to stay close to one another. Their tempo and approach was on the slower side and that was the primary reason for the first half to end as a lackluster one.

Jamshedpur, too, had a couple of attempts on goal, mainly from a Cidoncha free kick -- which only met the side netting. Defensively, Goa didn't have too much to do, but they stuck up to the task nonetheless.
