ISL 2023-24: Jamshedpur FC Power Back Into Playoff Spots After Comeback Win Against East Bengal FC
JRD Tata Sports Complex: Jamshedpur FC reclaimed the sixth spot in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 points table with a stunning victory as they edged past East Bengal FC by 2-1 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Thursday. Jamshedpur FC's victory was powered by two goals late in the second half that left East Bengal stunned.
Japanese star Rei Tachikawa bagged an equaliser in the 80th minute, which was followed by a winner by French playmaker Jeremy Manzorro in the added time of the second half to snatch three points from the hands of the Red & Gold Brigade.
East Bengal FC had notched their first win in six matches when they went past Hyderabad FC by 1-0 away from home last Saturday. Whilst head coach Carles Cuadrat would have wanted that win to infuse confidence within the setup, they started this game on the backfoot with Manzorro and Imran Khan teasing Prabsukhan Singh Gill with formidable efforts from in and around the 18-yard-box in the opening 15 minutes.
