Mohun Bagan Super Giant secured the second position in the Indian Super League (ISL) by defeating Jamshedpur FC 3-0 in the Vivekananda Youth Indian Stadium on Friday.
In Short
Mohun Bagan’s Deadly Trio
With Dimitrios Petratos, Jason Cummings, and Armando Sadiku establishing a deadly three and each scoring a goal to seal a magnificent victory, the Mohun Bagan’ immensely skilled frontline was on display in this encounter.
Since Khalid Jamil took charge, Jamshedpur FC has shown tremendous progress and remained unbeaten in the latter part of the current campaign. Despite concerns over Antonio López Habas taking Juan Ferrando’s place in their league rivals, they weren’t tasting defeat either, setting the stage for an intense clash between these two formidable in-form units.
It was a clash between two formidable in-form units, but better striking quality in the ranks of the Mohun Bagan secured three points for the Kolkata-based club. With three assists going into the game, Manvir Singh, the winger, was the most influential player and he contributed greatly by creating two more goals in this game.

During the 90 minutes, Manvir added two more strikes to his tally, setting up Petratos and Cummings for goals. In the seventh minute, Manvir scored another splendid run from the right, which breached Jamshedpur FC’s backline and created a pass for the attacking Petratos. The striker made no mistake with his first touch, placing the ball neatly into the net, leaving the defense shattered.
That Move 😮💨

Mohun Bagan’s goalkeeper Vishal Kaith denied Imran Khan and Daniel Chima Chukwu’s attempts early on, keeping Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s clean sheet intact with two crucial saves and clearances.
The home team had some outstanding performances as the game approached its last 30 minutes to increase their lead. In the 68th minute, Manvir slipped through the middle and created half space with a precise pass, which Cummings finished off with a straight shot past the goalkeeper. Joni Kauko played a crucial role in that move, intercepting the ball, holding it, and waiting for Manvir’s release. Twelve minutes later, Sadiq executed a leap in action and changed the straight tap enough to triple the lead, giving Mariners the pace to finish the game at a high level.
