Jamshedpur FC didn't have a target man up front and played Pablo Morgado as a false-nine. Even then, they could have created ample opportunities but their lack of creativity in the attacking third meant they went backward rather than forward.

The scenario after Edu Bedia's sending off has been expounded before and there was nothing different in the first half as well. The only scoring opportunity Jamshedpur FC created in the first half was when Jerry Mawihmingthanga was one-on-one with Mohammad Nawaz but the latter positioned himself perfectly to deny the youngster a goal.

FC Goa was defensively very well composed and didn't allow Jamshedpur FC players spaces. Rather than taking the risk of outfoxing the players on individual skills, Jamshedpur FC players decided it wise to go backward.

This attitude led them to nine draws in the league stages of the ISL and provided no help in the Super Cup.
