The game was set in motion by his early assist for Dimitrios Petratos in the seventh minute. In the second half, his accurate crosses found Jason Cummings and the replacement Armando Sadiku, who scored with style.
Early Goal Sets the Tone
Since the first whistle, Mohun Bagan has controlled the pace of the match with his aggressive approach.

This proved to be their first fruitful offensive move.

Despite their superiority, they were unable to score additional goals in the first half thanks to a few key stops from Rehenesh.

Jamshedpur FC is disappointed
For Jamshedpur FC, the evening was a huge letdown. Their defense and offensive energy weren’t up to Mohun Bagan’s level of organization and energy. They will have to get back together fast in order to be ready for their upcoming matchup with Mumbai City FC.
