JRD Tata Sports Complex: Jordan Murray and Muhammad Uvais scored in the final few minutes of the match as Jamshedpur FC came from behind to pip Bengaluru FC 2-1 in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Saturday night. Bengaluru FC were ahead in the game courtesy of a goal from Alberto Noguera but a second-half blitz from Jamshedpur FC saw Murray score in the 84th minute and Muhammad Uvais strike in the final seconds of the game to seal an important win in the ongoing season.

The match started with a great rhythm. In the third minute, the visitors almost took the lead when Noguera found Sunil Chhetri with an exquisite long ball, catching the entire Jamshedpur FC defence off-guard. However, Albino Gomes kept out Chhetri’s eventual effort. Apart from the initial opportunity, the first quarter didn’t see many chances but it was extremely eventful in midfield with both teams wrestling for possession.

Despite getting frustrated by Jamshedpur FC’s high press, Bengaluru were patient during their buildup in the initial quarter of the game. They eventually struck first blood in the 19th minute when Naorem Roshan Singh made a surging run down the left flank and followed it up with a brilliant cross for Noguera, who made a late sprint into the box and calmly caressed it past Albino.
