In the second semifinal, Jamshedpur had more say in attacks from the beginning and breached the rival defence twice early in the match. While Mumbai averted danger at the expense of a corner at the start, goalkeeper Rehenesh Thumbirumbu was quick to thwart the set-piece a couple of minutes later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rehenesh came to his team\u2019s rescue once again in the 31st minute when Jordan Murray\u2019s header from inside the six-yard box had a goal written all over it. But Rehenesh displayed remarkable reflexes to rise to the occasion and punch away the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mumbai, which had earlier registered two convincing wins in the tournament, found it difficult to find their rhythm. Except for a fine Lallianzuala Chhangte cross from the left that had the potential to fetch a goal, the islanders couldn\u2019t stretch the Jamshedpur defence much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Things didn\u2019t improve in the second half, with the teams creating fewer chances. While Mumbai continued to struggle up front, Jamshedpur were distinctly unlucky not to find the target at least twice after the hour mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On both occasions, the post came to Mumbai\u2019s rescue, though goalkeeper Rehenesh was beaten hands down. After Stephen Eze rued his luck for the post to stand in his way, seasoned midfielder Pronay Halder\u2019s low drive met with a similar fate a couple of minutes later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The constant pounding at the rival goal finally bore fruit for Jamshedpur FC in the 87th minute. After a combined move from Khalid Jamil\u2019s men was cleared by the Mumbai defenders in a rather clumsy manner, Tachikawa picked up the ball outside the box and unleashed a left-footer that deflected off a defender before going in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For the rest of the period, including the six minutes of injury time, Mumbai tried their best to retrieve the situation. But Jamshedpur, expectedly, put more men in defence to keep their lead intact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
