MUM vs JFC Match Preview
Despite making a scoring haul against Chennaiyin FC in the last-16, Mumbai City FC had to be satisfied with a single strike against giant killers Inter Kashi to secure their place in the semifinals. Lallianzuala Chhangte made the difference again with his 72nd-minute strike, amid several other chances created by the Islanders, and his third goal in the tournament this season to eliminate a side that stunned ISL finalists Bengaluru FC in the previous round. One of the prime favourites now to win the Super Cup, the former ISL winners will have to face a solid outfit in the form of Jamshedpur FC in the last four, which will again test their sprawling attack in this competition. Mumbai City will not want to add further disappointment this season by exiting from this stage of the Super Cup after a forgettable Shield chase and ISL Cup title defence. The worry for Petr Kratky’s men will be their poor record against the Men of Steel lately, losing three of the previous four meetings, including twice in the past ISL season. However, it will be a shock if the Islanders fail to progress to the Super Cup final, having responded well to their playoff exit.
Jamshedpur FC played an end-to-end encounter with Northeast United, having beaten Hyderabad FC 2-0 in the previous round, using their solidity to keep off Alaeddin Ajaraie and his teammates, like they did in the ISL playoff meeting. The Men of Steel ultimately came up on top in a thrilling penalty shootout, which ended 5-4. Khalid Jamil’s side are desperate to shake off their frustration of not reaching the ISL final despite giving the eventual winners Mohun Bagan Super Giant a hard time over two legs, as they find themselves in another semifinal stage of a different competition. This is the third straight time Jamshedpur FC are appearing in the last-four of the Super Cup, but they failed to reach the showpiece each time, a losing streak they would want to end, taking on an equally wanting side on Wednesday. A place in the continental football is also a reward for winning the trophy, which will be a dream for the club that did not get the chance even after winning the ISL Shield a few seasons ago.
