XtraTime Web Desk – Both Hyderabad and Jamshedpur FC are finding it difficult to score at the moment as both the teams drew twice in their three games.
Both the teams played offensive football in the first 45 minutes but their long range shots didn’t create any pressure on the opposition. Other than that, both the teams also created few good chances to score but they kept their shooting boot home as most of the shots were over the bar. Thus, even after playing attacking football, both the teams were locked at 0-0 after half time.
The second started in the same manner but this time Hyderabad did the most important thing. They scored in the 50 minute mark as Aridane Santana scored again for Hyderabad FC. He now has 4 goals by his name in this tournament. After that goal, Hyderabad missed a sitter in the 55th minute. Jamshedpur had only 1 defender while Hyderabad had 3 forward players but they however couldn’t capitalize of the situation.
After a long battle for a comeback, Jamshedpur eventually did it. In the 71st minute, they equalised but it was cancelled by the official. That however didn’t kill Jamshedpur’s intensity. They finally manage to equalise on 85th minute. Stephen Eze scored the goal for Jamshedpur that brought them level. With Eze’s late goal, the match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Jamshedpur however is in a tight place as they managed to earn only 2 points after 3 games. Hyderabad FC earned 5 points after 3 games but with the kind of form Aridane Santana is, they would be hopeful for a strong outing next time.
