Durand Cup: Chennaiyin Fall To Jamshedpur Despite Vincy's Stunner
JRD Tata Sports Complex: Vincy Barretto’s late stunner was not enough as Chennaiyin FC fell to a narrow loss against hosts Jamshedpur FC in their second group stage match in Durand Cup 2024 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Sunday. Assistant coach Noel Wilson made two changes to the line-up that started Chennaiyin’s Durand Cup 2024 opener against Indian Army FT, with Vishal R. and Solaimalai replacing Ganeshpandi S. and Lalpekhlua.
He was forced into a third change before kick-off after Vincy Barretto was ruled unfit to play from the start; Vivek S. replaced the attacker in the starting eleven initially.
Chennaiyin started positively against a strong Jamshedpur side and were the better of the two teams early on. The Marina Machans turned the flanks into their best avenues for breaking through the Jamshedpur defence, teasing in deadly crosses for the defenders to deal with. The hosts, however, grew into the game as the clock ticked on, and took the lead in the 32nd minute through a headed goal from a corner through centre-back Muirang.
