Javi Hernandez produced an injury winner while Jamshedpur FC beat Mohun Bagan Super Giant 2-1 in the first leg of their match in the Indian Super League semi-finals on Thursday. Khalid Jamil’s wearing team held only 26.9% of possession against the winners of the Shield League in this match at the JRD Tata sports complex. However, they were effective in converting their opportunities, marking twice the four shots they have taken care of with the winner from Hernandez in injury.
It was Javi Siverio (24th) who gave the advantage to Jamshedpur, but Jason Cummings (37th) produced the equalizer before Hernández (90 1 ‘) brings the hosts home.
The two games will then play in the second stage of their match in the semi-finals in Kolkata on April 7.
Jamshedpur collected the advantage over the air prowess of Javi Siverio and Stephen Eze. The imposing defender delivered a pass to the head in Siverio, parked at extremely short distance at the 24th minute.
The Spaniard simply nods in the lower right corner while Mohun Bagan conceded a vital lead to red minors.
Visitors equalized in the 37th minute, graceful with an impeccable free kick in Cummings, which intensified its set functions and buried the opportunity with enormous precision in the upper right corner with its left foot.
The visitors dominated the second half, but missed some opportunities, because Jamshedpur finally found the second goal of their brand style after a quick break in additional time.
The red minors sculpted the MBSG structure with a chain of passes which was performed perfectly. The sequence crowned with Ritwik Das finding Hernández in a space pocket in the center of the box that the Spaniard pulled high in the center of the net to catch its side an important advantage in the next match.
