Durand Cup: Ruatkima Brace Fires Diamond Harbour Past Jamshedpur Into Semifinals
JFC interim head coach Steven Dias fielded a settled 4-3-3 lineup and made three changes to his starting line-up bringing in Japanese International Rei Tachikawa, Sreekuttan VS and Nikhil Barla in place of Suhair VP, Kartik Choudhary, and Vincy Barretto while Diamond Harbour FC Head Coach Jose Antonio Vicuna Ochandorena made five changes to his starting line-up bringing in Robilal Mandi, Sairuatkima, Mirshad Koottappunna, Samuel Lalmuanpuia and Hali Charan Narzary in place of Clayton Dasilva, Susnata Malik, Melroy Melwin Assisi, Girik Mahesh Khosla and Naresh Singh in a 4-3-3 formation with deadly trio of Luka Majcen, Hali Charan and Jobby Justin in the attacking line.
The quarter-final showdown at the JRD Tata Sports Complex saw Diamond Harbour FC take a stunning early lead, rattling the confident home side, Jamshedpur FC. Just three minutes in, Ruatkima capitalised on a set-piece. A long throw unsettled JFC’s defence and the defender was left unmarked to slide home the opener.
