Jamshedpur struggled to retain possession throughout the game and didn't have any luck on counter-attacks. Farukh Choudhary's first-half overhead kick was easily saved by Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. Apart from this moment, the striker didn't cause Bengaluru FC's defence any trouble and put up a flat performance.

The hosts had frequent opportunities to run through the left flank, but Farukh failed to take full advantage of it. Instead, he failed to bring several deliveries under his control and lost possession on a regular basis.
The Indian International has started the season on a high with one goal and one assist in three games this season, but he didn't look at his best against the reigning champions. The forward would hope to perform better in the forthcoming games as he was nullified by the left-back on the day, Ashique Kuruniyan.
Antonio Iriondo should utilize Farukh Choudhary's skillset to the fullest. But, it's the player who needs to produce the goods.
