ISL 2022-23, Jamshedpur FC vs ATK Mohun Bagan Highlights: Mariners Held to 0-0 Draw by Spirited JFC

ATK Mohun Bagan climb to fourth place in the standings with 28 points but they still haven’t confirmed their place in the top six. Still anything can happen. Jamshedpur meanwhile will be kicking themselves, having missed two great chances. Odisha will take on Hyderabad tomorrow. Thanks for joining in, until tomorrow, it’s goodbye.

ATK Mohun Bagan fail to score past Jamshedpur, neither side could disturb the scorers as it remains 0-0 at full time. Chima Chukwu and Boris Singh had two great chances, but they failed to score and the Men of Steel would be kicking themselves. The Mariners perhaps luckily walk away with a point when they could have lost.

Still level here at the furnace in Jamshedpur, Ritwik Das appeals for a penalty but the shout is turned down. Moments later Emmanuel-Thomas’ shot gets deflected into Chima Chukwu’s path who tries but can’t get past Vishal Kaith. He may just have kept his side in the match, and salvaged their playoffs place, only just.

Vishal Kaith saw a yellow card after he came out to clear the ball, but couldn’t get hold of it, only to pull Boris down to the ground and see a yellow. Moments later he redeemed himself by making a big save.

The match has become an end-to-end affair. A mistake from ATK Mohun Bagan players allowed Ritwik Das to get on the ball, he ran almost the length of the pitch, beating two players but was forced too wide. Chima Chukwu was calling for the ball but the cross never came.

Here’s the earlier save from Rehenesh:

TP Rehenesh once again comes to his side’s rescue, denies Fede Gallego from just outside the box. The custodian has kept his side in the game but he’s struggling from a thigh issue and can’t even take goalkicks now. Will be interesting to see if he can finish the game.

Liston Colaco enters the fray, replacing his compatriot Manvir Singh. Juan Ferrando will be hoping that his changes can inspire a change in fortunes. Remeber, only a win will help ATK Mohun Bagan to edge closer to the playoffs.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas denied twice by Vishal Kaith, the Jamshedpur midfielder took two attempts at goal, both from a similar place outside the box but the ATK Mohun Bagan goalie had his angles sorted. Here’s the earlier miss from Boris:

The second half begins as ATK Mohun Bagan will look for that elusive goal which will get them the three points and thus help them take a major step towards playoffs. Jamshedpur meanwhile will look to spoil the party.

The two sides cannot be separated so far, as the referee blows for half-time. Neither side could trouble the scorers, TP Rehenesh has kept his side in the game, Boris Singh missed an open goal, and ATK Mohun Bagan need to score to remain in the hunt for playoffs.

TP Rehenesh has made the difference so far, keeping his side at bay. The custodian denies Petratos with another smart save. Moments later, Harry Sawyer sets up Boris in front of the goal but the winger missed from two yards with the goal gaping.

Carl McHugh pulls down Ritwik Das, the Indian winger was in midst of a mazy run, beating two of his markers but McHugh came up with a cynical challenge. Subashish meanwhile goes into the ref’s book for kicking the ball away.

TP Rehenesh with a smart double save, he denies Petratos from a direct free-kick, before punching it clear, the ball falls to Ashish Rai whose flying volley is punched away by the Jamshedpur custodian. He’s kept his side in the game so far.

ATK Mohun Bagan nearly punished for a mistake at the back, their defenders were caught ball-watching but Chima Chukwu’s pass was cut short before it could reach his strike-partner. Meanwhile, Boris draws a save from Kaith shortly afterwards. The game is starting to open up slowly.

Both sides have matched each other toe to toe so far and Jamshedpur FC will be happy with their display. ATK Mohun Bagan meanwhile will know that they have to be more innovative. If this goes on like this, they will get frustrated and it could lead to mistakes from them. Not many noteworthy chances so far except that Glan Martins attempt.

Glan Martins takes a pop at goal however TP Rehenesh was alert to it. Foils the danger and the ATK Mohun Bagan midfielder would be happy to have found his range. They need more of this, the Mariners.

Jamshedpur have continued to frustrate ATK Mohun Bagan so far. Carl McHugh lets it fly meanwhile from outside the box,  but it fizzes wide of the mark. Credit to the hosts for not allowing the Mariners to have their way so far.

Jamshedpur have started on a brighter note as compared to their adversaries from Kolkata. ATK Mohun Bagan have been put under pressure early on, but neither goalie has been tested so far.

And we’re underway, Jamshedpur kickoff at the furnace, they attacking from left to right. The visitors, ATK Mohun Bagan in their changed away kit in white. The onus will be on the Mariners to find a win today.

We’re just minutes away from kick, both sides have completed their pre-match formalities. Hopefully, we’ll get plenty of goals in this one.
