Durand Cup 2023: Jamshedpur FC vs Indian Navy – Build-up
Thursday will see Group B and Group F action in the 132nd IndiaOil Durand Cup, as Indian Super League (ISL) side Jamshedpur FC take on the Indian Navy Football Team in Kolkata’s Mohun Bagan ground whereas the Indian Army football team take on Bodoland FC in their den at Kokrajhar’s SAI stadium. While both teams seek their first points in the Kolkata game, in Kokrajhar, only the home team will be seeking to do that as the Army team look to make it two wins out of two.
After facing reverses in the first game, both Jamshedpur FC (JFC) and the Indian Navy football team (INFT) will look to get their 132nd IndianOil Durand Cup campaign back on track with a good performance and hopefully three points, on Thursday.
The Navy team gave a very good account of themselves against local giants Mohammedan Sporting in the first game, going down by the odd goal in three and that seemed certainly in the minds of the Red Miners gaffer Steven Dias when he said, “It’s not going to be an easy match against the Indian Navy Team but we are positive and looking forward to it. The young lads are working hard and ready to bounce back. I am confident that we will make our fans proud and showcase some good football.”
Jamshedpur had gone down 0-5 in their first game, albeit to a far superior Mumbai City FC side in the first game and it remains to be seen if the young wards of Steven Dias, are able to brush aside that experience and turn up on Thursday.
