JFC's Javi Hernander and players celebrating after scoring against MCFC at JRD Tata Sports Complex, Jamshedpur on Saturday.

Jamshedpur FC hammered Mumbai City FC with a sensational come-from-behind 3-2 victory at the JRD Tata Sports Complex to secure their maiden win at home in ISL 2024-25. Though the Islanders had the early lead, Jamshedpur players stuck to their game plan to make a comeback to win at their home. With this win, Jamshedpur now have clinched back-to-back wins this season.

A Strong Start by Mumbai City FC

Mumbai City FC started the game with aggression, dominating possessions and early opportunities. In the fifth minute of the game, Yoell van Nieff intercepted a pass from Javi Hernandez and released a powerful long-range shot that curled just inches wide of the post. It was clear that the visitors were intent on controlling the game from the very beginning.

Within minutes though, Jamshedpur FC responded with their first notable chance. Imran Khan delivered a well-placed corner and Pratik Chaudhari on the far post headed it towards Javier Siverio. Siverio laid it off to Jordan Murray and his shot was cleared off the line for the fourth corner of the game. The play almost went into the lead, but Tiri's clearance deflected off the top of the crossbar and it remained level.

Karelis Gomes adds some magic for Mumbai FC

Mumbai did not have much to respond at this point, when in the eighth minute, through a Thaer Krouma header, Nikolaos Karelis delivered a thunderous shot that beat Albino Gomes, Jamshedpur FC's goalkeeper, to find himself at the forefront of the contest. The same player again threatened to double up just moments later, but failure to convert and reduction of the margin limited the damage.

Jordan Murray's equaliser for Jamshedpur FC

As the first half came by, Jamshedpur FC gradually went into a rhythm. It finally clicked in the 36th minute when an equalizer from Jordan Murray came along. A wonderful cross from Imran Khan from the right wing found Murray, who calmly slotted it into the net to restore parity, putting hopes back in the shop of home supporters once again.

At the stroke of halftime, Jamshedpur FC did well to go ahead due to some maverick wizardry by Javi Hernandez. With a magical effort from the right flank, Hernandez's free-kick made it past the Mumbai defense and into the back of the net. It was a lapse in communication between the defenders and goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa that they capitalised on. The goal meant not only that Jamshedpur was leading but the total momentum was now on the side of the latter.

Second-Half Supremacy by Jamshedpur FC

The home team continued the attack thrust in the second half. It was not more than four minutes after the resumption when Jamshedpur could have further made it 2-1 in their favour. Jordan Murray was poised to double his score for the night after Javi Hernandez played a sublime pass that sat him up. But an important block by Valpuia stopeed Murray's second goal of the night from occurring.

The pressure finally paid off in the 50th minute when a gem piece of play by Seiminlen Doungel set up Hernandez for his second goal. Doungel stepped past the Mumbai defense, and set up Hernandez for a perfect cross. Hernandez made no mistake with the pinpoint cross that doubled Jamshedpur's advantage over Mumbai City FC. The Spaniard's clinical finish left the Mumbai goalkeeper stretched and helpless, bringing the stadium to its feet.

Last season's ISL Cup winners, Mumbai City FC did not lose heart despite being two down, and they went all out for a comeback. It came in the 77th with Yoell van Nieff pulling one back as his outside-the-penalty-area curling effort evaded Gomes and thudded the ball to the back of the net, thus reducing the deficit and making the endgame tense.

In the dying embers, Mumbai City FC went all out on the attack but Jamshedpur FC stood rock solid in their defense. Petr Kratky's team left everything on the pitch, but the backline of the hosts and mindful substitution made sure they went away with all three points.

Key Performer of the Match: Javi Hernandez

It is more than obvious that Javi Hernandez was the top performer of the match. The two goals for his team ensured that Jamshedpur FC would not go down in a defeat, but it would also make him the third player ever in ISL history who scored for five different teams. He dominated set pieces and made intelligent runs to create space, thus opening up the route to the victory of his team, and he has played an important role in some defensive and midfield work.

What's Next for the Teams?

Jamshedpur FC will look to carry such momentum into the away game against Odisha FC at Bhubaneswar on September 28. Mumbai City FC have a brief break between this and return to action on 2nd of October with Bengaluru FC visiting them at the Mumbai Football Arena. The two sets of players looking for a win over each other will look to be back and carry on with the remaining part of the season in good form.

Brief Scores:

Jamshedpur FC: 3 (Jordan Murray 36', Javi Hernandez 44', 50')
Mumbai City FC: 2 (Nikolaos Karelis 18', Yoell van Nieff 77')

Mohun Bagan SG Edges Kerala Blasters FC 2-1 in Kalinga Super Cup 2025 Quarter-Finals - Suhail Bhatt with the goal for MBSG | sportzpoint.com

On a vibrant Saturday evening, April 26, 2025, Mohun Bagan SG’s youthful squad clinched a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Kerala Blasters FC in the Kalinga Super Cup 2025 quarter-finals, securing their spot in the semi-finals.

The Mariners, boasting an all-Indian lineup save for Portuguese defender Nuno Reis, showcased their attacking flair with goals from Sahal Abdul Samad in the 22nd minute and Suhail Ahmad Bhat in the 51st. Despite a late strike from Kerala Blasters’ Sreekuttan MS in the 94th minute, Mohun Bagan SG held firm, thanks to a stellar performance by goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem. Bastab Roy’s team now awaits the winner of the FC Goa vs. Punjab FC clash in the semi-final on April 30.

The match kicked off cautiously, with both sides probing without overcommitting. For the first 20 minutes, neither team managed to create clear chances. Then, Mohun Bagan SG sparked the game to life with a moment of brilliance.

Salahudheen Adnan dazzled down the right, weaving past Naocha Singh before delivering a pinpoint cross into the box. Sahal Abdul Samad, with a deft shoulder drop, shook off Ruivah Hormipam and delicately lifted the ball over goalkeeper Sachin Suresh to break the deadlock.

The goal jolted Kerala Blasters into action, and they pushed hard for an equaliser. Noah Sadaoui, fresh off a spectacular long-range goal against East Bengal, tried his luck from distance but sent the ball straight to Dheeraj Singh.

The Blasters grew threatening from set pieces, particularly short corners. In the 30th minute, Sadaoui’s low cross after a quick one-two with Vibin Mohanan was cleared by Dippendu Biswas. Moments later, Hormipam’s looping cross nearly sneaked into the top corner, only for Dheeraj to tip it over.

Just before halftime, Mohammed Aimen cut in from the left and unleashed a curling shot that sailed narrowly over the bar, leaving the Blasters frustrated.

The second half began with Mohun Bagan SG striking early. In the 47th minute, Sachin Suresh pulled off a stunning save to deny Salahudheen in a one-on-one, but the warning went unheeded. Four minutes later, Ashique Kuruniyan tore down the left, breezed past Hormipam, and rolled a precise pass to Suhail Ahmad Bhat, who calmly slotted it home to double the lead.

From there, the game became the Dheeraj Singh show. Kerala Blasters threw everything forward, but the Mohun Bagan goalkeeper stood tall. Jesús Jiménez squandered two golden opportunities, blasting over the bar in the 65th minute and dragging a shot wide two minutes later. In the 70th minute, Dheeraj denied substitute Kwame Peprah’s angled effort, and with five minutes left, Peprah’s low cross found Jiménez, who couldn’t connect cleanly.

Dheeraj’s heroics continued as he thwarted Peprah from point-blank range, with Amandeep clearing Ebindas Y’s follow-up off the line. The Blasters finally broke through in stoppage time when Jiménez set up Sreekuttan, who rifled a shot past Dheeraj. But the goal came too late to spark a comeback.

Salahudheen Adnan earned the Kalinga Player of the Match award for his electrifying performance.

Kalinga Super Cup 2025: Jamshedpur FC Cruise Past Hyderabad to Enter Super Cup Quarterfinals

Jamshedpur FC booked their place in the quarterfinals of the Kalinga Super Cup with a dominant 2-0 win over Hyderabad FC at the Kalinga Stadium on April 24. Goals from Javier Siverio and Stephen Eze highlighted a commanding performance by the Men of Steel, who now set up a quarterfinal clash against NorthEast United FC on April 27.

Jamshedpur showed intent right from the outset. In the 7th minute, Siverio rose well to meet a cross, but the Hyderabad goalkeeper kept out his header. The breakthrough came in the 40th minute when the Spanish striker calmly converted from the spot after Ashutosh Mehta was fouled inside the box.

Just before the break, the Men of Steel came close to doubling their lead. Stephen Eze and Ritwik Das had quick chances in succession, but both efforts narrowly missed the target. JFC went into halftime with a 1-0 advantage, looking the better side.

The second half followed a similar script, with Jamshedpur on the front foot. In the 63rd minute, Murray worked his magic on the flank and sent in a teasing low cross that found Eze unmarked in the box. The Nigerian defender made no mistake, finishing calmly to make it 2-0.

Chances kept coming for Jamshedpur. In the 70th minute, Siverio released Murray into the box, but the Australian’s powerful effort went high over the bar. Javi Hernandez then tested the goalkeeper with a cheeky long-range scoop from the halfway line, which nearly caught him off guard.

It was a one-sided affair in the final minutes, as Barla, Murray, and Siverio all had sights on goal but lacked the finishing touch. While Jamshedpur could have scored more, their control over the match never wavered.
