135th Durand Cup: Hnamte’s Double Helps SC Delhi Secure A Comeback Win Against Jamshedpur FC
Khuman Lampak Main Stadium: New signing Lalrinliana Hnamte made his debut for Sporting Club Delhi a memorable one, scoring twice in the space of five minutes in the second half to complete a comeback win for his side against Jamshedpur FC in a Group C fixture of the 135th Durand Cup which was played at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Ranchi on Tuesday.
Hnamte scored his brace in the 51st and 56th minutes after Jamshedpur FC took the lead in the 22nd minute through Sanan Mohammed. Despite the loss, Jamshedpur remain at the top of the table with three points from two matches, only on goal difference with SC Delhi, who have only played a single match.
Jamshedpur FC head coach Kaizad Ambapardiwalla made one change to the starting XI from his side's previous outing, with full-back Nikhil Barla replacing Abhishek Ambekar. SC Delhi head coach Tomasz Tchórz, taking charge of his side's first match of the tournament, retained eight players from the lineup that featured in the club's final Indian Super League fixture of the previous season.
