Banbolim: Jamshedpur FC rode on an injury-time own goal from Enes Sipovic to beat Chennaiyin FC 1-0 in an Indian Super League match at the GMC Stadium on Wednesday.
Jamshedpur did not register a single shot on target, compared to Chennaiyin’s four but still ended on the winning side. The result lifted Owen Coyle’s team to the sixth spot while Chennaiyin stayed eighth.
The opening half proved to be a cagey contest with both sides displaying great defensive organisation.
Chennaiyin started bright and fashioned chances but failed to convert them again. Jamshedpur eventually grew into the game but lacked incision in the attacking third.
Jamshedpur keeper TP Rehenesh was called into action early on, forcing a fine save from Lallianzuala Chhangte.
The youngster received the ball from Memo Moura on the left and cut inside before curling his shot towards the far post. However, his effort was parried away by Rehenesh, who displayed great awareness.
