Jamshedpur FC Ratings (By Saikat Sengupta)

Albino Gomes – 7

Had it not been Gomes, Bagan would’ve easily scored two to three. He was standing wall as the Big Wall of Jamshedpur. His experiences and quick reflexes were nothing less than a nightmare for Mohun Bagan Super Giant to get past it.

Nikhil Barla – 7.0

It was young Barla’s third knockout game and he really kept his nerves to help his side. He played brilliantly to not let Khalid miss Mehta’s presence in the right-back position. He was subbed off as soon as the Red Miners conceded a goal.

Pronay Halder – 7.0

Halder was brilliant tonight apart from that unintentional hand ball that gave away a penalty to the Mariners. Halder’s experience was vital for the Red Miners tonight as he was a linchpin in Jamshedpur FC’s defence.

Md Uvais – 6.5

Uvais was tasked with the responsibility to dominate the left flank of the pitch and help his team initiate those quick counterattacks. He did well tonight but the Mariners wingers were too good to outplay him a lot of times.

Len Doungel – 6.5

People may debate Len’s inclusion in the match tonight. Some may call it a mistake while some called it a masterstroke, but Len was effective tonight for the Red Miners.

Sourav Das – 7.0

Sourav’s goal-line clearance made us all skip a beat of the heart. Apart from one nervy moment, where he was too lazy to retrace back and made all the Bagan players onside, he played well tonight

Javi Hernandez – 7.0

Javi’s stunner in the first few seconds of the second half could have easily taken Jamshedpur FC into the ISL Finals. He led his side like a proper leader, motivating his players to also make full use of those little counterattacks.

Rei Tachikawa – 6.0

The Japanese Samurai tried his best to dominate the midfield and control the tempo of the game. But Mohun Bagan Super Giant completely outshined the midfield and Rei had nothing much to do.

Lazar Cirkovic – 6.5

Cirkovic had huge boots to fill, in the absence of Stephen Eze. Cirkovic’s aerial presence and no-nonsense defence helped Jamshedpur remain immune despite constant attacks from the Mariners.

Md Sanan – 6.0

Sanan really didn’t have much of an impact in this match tonight. He seemed clueless and should have stood up to the expectations of the coach.

Jordan Murray – 7.0

Murray’s role was to ensure that Jamshedpur FC exploit the MBSG defence when they went full high press on attack. He could have been a bit more patient to make some real chances

Substitutions

Pratik – 7.0

Pratik transitioned in pretty well to stabilise the JFC defense and helped the team to get a sigh of relief after his valuable inception into the field.

VS Sreekuttan – 6.5

His presence rejuvenated a different spark of energy in the team. He was a live wire in the flanks for Jamshedpur FC tonight.

Ritwik Das – 7.0

Ritwik was not as effective tonight as he was in the previous two games.

Javier Siverio – 6.5

The Spaniard was brought in to help Murray in attack, but couldnt really make much of an impact tonight
