Jamshedpur FC 1-0 SC East Bengal: Player ratings as Red Miners leave it late to go top of ISL 2021-22 table

Jamshedpur FC stung SC East Bengal with a late goal to win 1-0 in Match 56 of the 2021-22 ISL season. Substitute Ishan Pandita scored the only goal of the game in the 88th minute, heading home from a Greg Stewart corner.

The game saw some resolute defending by the Red and Gold Brigade, who hung on against the Jamshedpur FC attack for long swathes. However, they were undone by an excellent set-piece from Stewart.

The win took Owen Coyle's side to the top of the ISL table while SC East Bengal remain winless and at the bottom of the pile after 11 games. Here are the player ratings for both sides:

---

Jamshedpur FC player ratings

Pawan Kumar - 6/10

Having to make just one save, Kumar had almost nothing to do on the night. He did have a moment of craziness, though, when he carried the ball almost until the halfway line in the first half.

---

Ricky Lallawmawma - 6/10

Lallawmawma dealt well with whatever little threat SC East Bengal posed to his flank but his attacking play left much to be desired.

---

Peter Hartley - 6.5/10

It was a comfortable outing for Hartley, with the Jamshedpur FC center-back hardly threatened by the opposition's attack.

---

Eli Sabia - 6.5/10

Like Hartley, Sabia too had one of his easier nights as SC East Bengal lacked poise and penetration going forward. He made a couple of important tackles to stop some breakaways that could've proved dangerous.

---

Laldinliana Renthlei - 6/10

Renthlei locked his flank down and was decent in the final third, contributing two key passes for Jamshedpur FC.

---

Mobashir Rahman - 6/10

Rahman did his job well in the middle of the park, recycling the ball and helping his side keep possession.

---

Jitendra Singh - 6/10

Similar to Rahman, Jitendra Singh also did a good job in winning the ball back from SC East Bengal and recycling possession.

---

Boris Singh Thangjam - 6.5/10

It was a mixed performance from Boris Singh, who got into several promising positions but failed to finish. He was all over the pitch for Jamshedpur FC though, laying out two key passes, making two tackles and completing 75% of his passes.

---

Greg Stewart - 8/10

Stewart was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. The Scot was an absolute menace for SC East Bengal to deal with. He dropped deep to orchestrate play, attempting more passes (51) than any other player. He created six chances for his teammates and ultimately got the assist for their winner as well.

---

Seiminlen Doungel - 6/10

Doungel didn't contribute much for Jamshedpur FC going forward, but was excellent defensively, making three tackles.

---

Jordan Murray - 7.5/10

Murray deserved a goal for his hard work tonight but was let down at times by his finishing. The forward got into several good positions, with his best moment coming in the second half when he created a chance out of nothing. Unfortunately, his volley went marginally wide.

---

Jamshedpur FC substitutes

Ishan Pandita - 7.5/10

Pandita replaced Doungel in the 58th minute. He seemed to be having a frustrating night but lost his marker to score the winner in the 88th minute. This is his second successive late winner, having scored in injury time against NorthEast United in a 3-2 thriller in their previous game.

---

Alex Lima - 6.5/10

Lima came on for Rahman in the 71st minute. He helped Jamshedpur FC out defensively and also had a couple of bright moments.

---

Narender Gahlot - 6/10

Gahlot replaced Hartley in the 71st minute and sailed through the game with little to do against an almost absent SC East Bengal attack.

Arindam Bhattacharya - 6.5/10

ISL veteran Arindam Bhattacharya made some excellent saves for SC East Bengal to keep Jamshedpur FC out for a major portion of the game. However, he was comprehensively beaten for the winner.

---

Hira Mondal - 7/10

Mondal was arguably his side's best player on the night and allowed little to go past him. The left-back was immense, though he did allow a few crosses to float in from his side in the second half.

---

Adil Khan - 6/10

Khan was solid for SC East Bengal throughout the first half, making two tackles and keeping Jordan Murray largely quiet. However, he went off early in the second half with an injury.

---

Ankit Mukherjee - 6/10

Mukherjee struggled with his passing, often resorting to long-ball attempts over the Jamshedpur FC midfield. However, he was a solid presence throughout the game.

---

Amarjit Singh Kiyam - 6/10

Amarjit Singh looked bright defensively but needs to work on his attacking output.

---

Sourav Das - 7/10

Das was fantastic in the middle of the pitch, shielding his defense extremely well. He managed two tackles on the night and helped keep Jamshedpur FC largely at bay.

---

Naorem Mahesh Singh - 6/10

Naorem Mahesh did well to track back and help SC East Bengal defend but was a no-show in attack.

---

Mohammad Rafique - 6/10

Rafique did well to hold on to the ball, winning two fouls. He commanded his midfielders well and kept them on their toes.

---

Wahengbam Angousana - 5.5/10

Angousana had an off-night in which he could contribute nothing going forward. He completed just 57.1% of his attempted passes and looked off the pace at times.

---

Lalrinliana Hnamte - 5.5/10

Hnamte had just 18 touches of the ball throughout the 90 minutes against Jamshedpur FC. To his credit, he did manage a key pass but the Red and Gold Brigade have to find a way to use his pace and creativity more.

---

Thongkhosiem Haokip - 6/10

Haokip was often left isolated up top, but did have a couple of half-chances and registered SC East Bengal's only shot on target.

---

SC East Bengal substitutes

Darren Sidoel - 6/10

Sidoel replaced Adil Khan in the 57th minute and did well to clear out the crosses sent in by Jamshedpur FC.

---

Balwant Singh - 4.5/10

Balwant Singh was at fault for the goal, losing Pandita all too easily. He could also contribute nothing in attack after coming on for Naorem Mahesh Singh.

---

Jackichand Singh - N/A

Jackichand Singh came on too late to impact the game for his side.
