Ratings: Daniel Chima, Hartley help Jamshedpur edge FC Goa

The victory took Owen Coyle's side to second in the standings.

Jamshedpur FC dented FC Goa's hopes of making the ISL 2021-22 playoffs with a narrow 1-0 victory at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on Friday. Daniel Chima, making his first start for the club since his transfer from SC East Bengal, scored the lone goal, albeit under controversial circumstances. Replays showed Chima was offside when Laldinliana Renthlei flicked the ball over the FC Goa defence for the Nigerian to score. But the linesman did not raise his flag and Jamshedpur waked out with crucial win taking them to second in the points standings, while FC Goa remain stranded at ninth for now.

Owen Coyle's Jamshedpur have 22 points from 12 games, while FC Goa from two matches more have only collected 14 points. Derrick Pereira's side are still four points off the fourth spot, but it will take a miracle for them to finish in the top four.

On that note, let’s have a look at the player ratings from tonight’s game.

Jamshedpur FC (By JN Balraj)

Rehnesh TP - 7.0

The custodian had to show some nice reflex saves, accompanied by a bit of luck to earn the clean-sheet. Rehnesh made two saves and was good with the ball distribution, playing 14 accurate direct balls.

Laldinliana Renthlei - 7.0

Another livewire performance from the full-back, beautifully assisted Chima's goal with a floated ball. Defensively, he made two clearances, one tackle and blocked a shot too.

Narender Gahlot - 6.5

The young defender was solid during most of the game, making a clearance and two interceptions. But, his inability to deal with aerial balls created vulnerable spaces to exploit and the team would've conceded on any other day.

Peter Hartley - 7.0

The captain held his composure as the game became chaotic in the dying minutes. His six clearances, one tackle and two tactical fouls helped his team come out victorious.

Ricky Lallawmawma - 6.5

Ricky again did the job quietly and looked never in doubt while moving forward. The full-back had 44 touches and played two key passes, making one clearance.

Alex Lima - 7.0

The Brazilian checked all the boxes against the brilliant midfield of FC Goa. Alex won 10 duels and made four tackles, with one interception.

Jitendra Singh - 6.0

Jitendra struggled against the disciplined FC Goa side and failed to win balls in the middle of the park for Jamshedpur. He made a mere 10 passes and played one direct ball.

Seiminlen Doungel - 6.0

The former Goa winger had another below-par outing. Len made 30 touches and played one long ball before he was subbed off.

Greg Stewart - 6.0

The Scottish playmaker looked out of touch after the long break and would be desperate to hit his stride before the next game. Stewart played 22 passes and attempted three crosses. He also made one clearance and two interceptions.

Boris Singh - 6.5

The winger made sprints continuously and was pressing high tirelessly. Boris delivered one cross and played 12 passes. He also won seven ground duels and made two interceptions, tackles each.

Daniel Chima - 7.5

Chima scored the opener in his first start. He took two shots and completed one dribble. The striker was good with his hold up play and was a constant threat.

Substitutes

Mobashir Rahman - 6.0

The local lad replaced Alex Lima for the last quarter of the game. He didn't impact the game much and made just one interception.

Anas Edathodika - 6.5

The seasoned centre-back added stability to the defence at the end with his experience. Statistically, he made one clearance, a tackle and also won a crucial duel.

Ishan Pandita - N/A

Super-sub Ishan got five minutes under his belt and pressed really high to create some good chances.

Ritwik Das - N/A

The winger missed a big chance to kill the game and would be relieved that it didn't cost the team.
