ISL 2019, FC Goa v Jamshedpur FC: 5 Talking Points

#4 Subrata Pal comes to Jamshedpur's rescue

The Jamshedpur shot-stopper was on fire in the dying stages of the game

The Jamshedpur defence did all it could to restrict Goa from scoring, but in the end, the onus fell on the sturdy shoulders of Subrata Pal. The former India international stuck to his task when called upon and put in a heroic shift as the last line of defence.

He wasn't overly tested with venomous efforts until the final spells of desperate attacking from the Gaurs. Although he made two routine stops, the veteran turned it on in the 84th minute, when he made a staggering double save.

When Coro cleaned up two defenders to take his strike, Subrata got down to his left at full stretch to deny the shot for a corner. Another save was produced at that moment as well.

In the 90th minute, a well-tuned cross was directed towards Brandon Fernandes, who was stationed in the right wing. The forward took it upon himself, but Pal was there to deny an orange shirt yet again. Goa tried to carve out an opening, but hardly anything knocked Subrata Pal off his perch.
