Building on their momentum, Jamshedpur FC extended their lead in the 37th minute. Mohammed Sanan dazzled with a run in the box from the left side, and even though FC Goa’s goalkeeper Hrithik Tiwari managed to block his shot, Javi Siverio was there to convert the rebound, doubling the advantage.

Just before half-time, FC Goa managed to get one back. The dynamic duo of Brison Fernandes and Ayush Dev Chhetri linked up seamlessly. Brison delivered a quick pass from the left to Ayush in the center, who struck it with precision into the bottom right corner, narrowing the gap for the Gaurs.

The visitors maintained their pressure in the second half, with Mohammed Yasir and Sahil Tavora teaming up to create a chance in the 57th minute. Tavora found some space and set up Yasir, whose shot hit the crossbar despite being well struck from the center of the box.

A pivotal moment came when Khalid Jamil substituted Sourav Das for Mobashir Rahman in the 58th minute, a decision that changed the course of the game. In the 68th minute, following a corner kick for the Red Miners, Mobashir delivered a perfectly placed curling ball into the crowded FC Goa box, allowing Siverio to head it into the top left corner, securing Jamshedpur FC’s third goal and a crucial win in the context of the league standings.
