JFC vs PUN Match Preview
Joy was ensured as Jamshedpur FC got their season running by beating Hyderabad FC 1-0 in the third game. It was their first victory of the season. New signing Rei Tachikawa scored the all-important goal in his first competitive start for the club replacing the misfiring Daniel Chima. It was a welcoming result after the Men of Steel played a goalless draw against East Bengal in the opener and then lost to Kerala Blasters. They also pulled themselves up to the seventh spot with the chance of getting into the top four by picking up more than three points. Jamshedpur FC have the opportunity to do in consecutive home games while welcoming promoted side Punjab FC to their fort.
The Shers registered something on the board for the first time since becoming the first side to be promoted from the I-League to the ISL in the 1-1 draw against NorthEast United. Showing courage in the first two games but returning empty-handed, Punjab FC made sure they took something out of their match against NorthEast United despite trailing before half-time. Melroy Assisi slotted the equalizer from a Juan Mera corner in the 63rd minute giving them the historical result. The point was earned in their first home game as well with the matches being played in Delhi. Staikos Vergetis will now want his side to aim for a victory this time carrying the positives from the last game.
