ISL 2024-25: Dominant NorthEast United Brush Aside Jamshedpur FC As Ajaraie Shines
Dominant NorthEast United FC: Alaaeddine Ajaraie struck a brace of goals on a record-breaking night as NorthEast United FC secured a 2-0 triumph over Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Thursday night. Ajaraie scripted history as he scored another brilliant brace, storming to 20 goals in the 2024-25 season. He broke Ferran Corominas's (2017-18) and Bartholomew Ogbeche’s (2021-22) joint record for the most goals by an individual in a single ISL campaign (18 goals).
This was also the first time that NorthEast United FC registered a win on the road against Jamshedpur FC in six matches in ISL history. This win keeps Juan Pedro Benali’s men well within the mix of the playoffs, as they climbed to the fourth spot with 32 points from 21 matches to their name.
NorthEast United FC got off the blocks quickly as Ajaraie handed them the lead in the sixth minute of the match. It was a brilliant move from Redeem Tlang who found Thoi Singh in space on the right flank. The winger released his cross early in the box as the Moroccan slotted it past Albino Gomes in goal, registering his record-breaking 19th goal of the campaign.
