Mobashir strikes for Jamshedpur

Mohammad Mobashir Rahman struck in the 41st minute as Jamshedpur FC record a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Odisha FC in the Hero Indian Super League here on Monday.

Mobash's strike proved to be the difference between the two sides, ending JFC's fivegame winless streak and keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Stuart Baxter made two changes from Odisha's 1-1 draw against Bengaluru, handing a start to Bradden Inman who had joined on loan from ATK Mohun Bagan. Paul Ramfangzauva was the other change in the playing XI.

For Jamshedpur, centerback Peter Hartley returned from injury and Mobashir replaced Aitor Monroy.

Odisha custodian Arshdeep Singh was called into action early on. Seiminlen Doungel dispossessed Rakesh Pradhan and, on entering the penalty area, forced a save from Singh.

JFC broke the deadlock in the 41st minute. The youngster put in a cross for Nerijus Valskis, whose movement in the box confused Singh, and the ball went straight into the goal.
