By now we've all been in the know about how attack-minded FC Goa are. In order to make sure their players venture forward with ease, coach Sergio Lobera has relied on defensive midfielder Ahmed Jahouh to carry out the dirty work of covering the yards and breaking up the opposition's play.

Tonight, the Moroccan was playing with fire. The referee booked him early in the first half for an extremely dangerous mistimed tackle. But that in no way deterred Jahou. Being aggressive seems to be in his genes.

Not more than ten minutes later, he once again began to make cynical sliding tackles. Four of them to be precise. Jamshedpur's players were livid and hounded the referee every time Jahou menacingly lunged into one of their players. Goa's players could not have done much to protest, had the referee decided to brandish the second yellow. Ahmed Jahou was playing with fire throughout the first half.
