Sergio Lobera's half time talk was sure to inject optimism and pace into the way FC Goa would go about their business in the second period.

They worked the passes a little quicker and got the likes of Jackichand Singh and Brandon into the game. Goa's expansive brand of football knocked the steel-like defence of Jamshedpur, as Edu Bedia and central defender Pena had a shy on goal. The latter should have at least placed his header on target.

In the 66th minute, Goa broke forward with speed and looked like they would draw first blood, but Memo did well to intercept a potential goal-scoring chance. After the 70th minute mark, Lobera threw the final dice with three quick substitutions.

Coro, who was having a dull day at the office, found himself free on the edge of the box, and beat two defenders with aplomb to test Pal. A handful of other shots troubled Jamshedpur, but the Jharkhand-based side held on.
