ISL 2019-20 HIGHLIGHTS, Jamshedpur FC vs Chennaiyin FC: Isaac Cancels Out Valskis Opener

FULL TIME!

Isaac Vanmalsawma cancels out Nerijus Valskis opener as Jamshedpur hold Chennaiyin. 

JAMSHEDPUR FC 1-1 CHENNAIYIN FC 

GOAL!

Isaac Vanmalsawma levels it for Jamshedpur FC! 

One could sense a goal coming. The constant pressure from the home side finally bears fruit. 

Aniket Jadhav dribbles past a defender and passes it onto Farukh Choudhary, who Isaac on the right. He cuts back and takes a shot. A nasty deflect off Farukh's hand means that Vishal Kaith has no chance to get to that. 

The crowd don't care though...

JAMSHEDPUR FC 1-1 CHENNAIYIN FC 

84' - Substitution

Chennaiyin's change number 3. Rafael Crivellaro is off and on comes Dragos Firtulescu.

Both teams have now made all their changes and the mangers can't influence the game any further. 

One man team?

HALF TIME!

Nerijus Valskis is the difference between Chennaiyin FC and Jamshedpur FC going into the break. 

Jamshedpur will feel that they have created enough chances but not taken advantage of them in the first half. 

Chennaiyin though will be the happier of the two teams. Owen Coyle's first game in charge is going to plan... at least for now.

38' - Chance!

What a chance for Jamshedpur to get back into the game! But is stopped... just.

Farukh Choudhary sends in a ball from the right and Sumeet Passi slides in. Vishal Kaith and Eli Sabia do too.

The ball is interrupted and half cleared by Sabia as Lucian Goian thumps it out of danger.

35' - Yellow Card and substitution

Masih Saighani is shown a yellow card for his tackle on Noe Acosta.

Acosta seems to have hurt his shoulder after the fall. He is brought off and on comes Jitendra Singh.

26' - GOAL!

Nerijus Valskis Gives Chennaiyin FC the lead!

Rafael Crivellaro swivels around, just outside the penalty box and dinked the ball through to Valskis.

Another smart pass from Aitor Monroy, this time to CK Vineeth with a chip on the left flank. Vineeth brings it down but his cross is not accurate and it goes out.

10' -

Brilliant from Lallianzuala Chhangte. He sips past a player and is off on a run down the left. He tries a fizzing cross but it too close to the keeper and Subrata Paul gathers it comfortaly. 

9' - 

Jamshedpur returning the favour from the early pressure as they slowly grow into the game.

A long ball from Aitor Monroy sets Farukh Choudhary on a run down the centre but Vishal Kaith is quick off his lines and his penalty box to kung fu kick it out of harm's way.

Chennaiyin with the early pressure. First from a long throw into the box and then from a corner. Subrata Paul unperturbed though.
