#5 Straight shootout between Jamshedpur and Goa for the last playoffs spot
With Mumbai City losing yesterday, Chennaiyin FC's place in the semis was confirmed. Goa's victory tonight dumped the Kerala Blasters and Mumbai out of the competition which means their clash versus Jamshedpur FC on Sunday will decide who will take the final playoff spot. Today's win means Goa now sit fourth, a point ahead of Jamshedpur.
It was already expected to be a crunch fixture with the race expected to go down to the last day, but the match has attained even more significance now that all the other contenders have been ruled out.
That match promises to be a tantalizing one. Goa just need a point, but we know that Sergio Lobera does not operate that way; they will go for the win. Jamshedpur on the other hand, need to press hard for three points, and that will certainly open up opportunities for Goa to pick them off on the counter. Make sure you tune into this one on Sunday!
