ISL 2019-20: FC Goa 0-1 Jamshedpur FC- 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis

#4 Jamshedpur FC and FC Goa target each other's left-back

Jackichand Singh was a livewire down the right wing

Mandar Rao Dessai was targetted in India's game against Afghanistan as the first half saw the SAFF nation siphon most of their attack down their right-wing. Jamshedpur FC head coach Antonio Iriondo seems to have taken a leaf out of that book and divert most of their attacks through that flank.

It ultimately paid dividends as Mandar failed to track back after he went upfront. Farukh Choudhary beat him and lobbed a cross in the centre for Sergio Castel to slam the ball home. That solitary goal proved to be the difference for both the sides.

From FC Goa's attacking point of view, they too diverted most of their attacks targeting Narender Gehlot who had a torrid ISL debut. Jackichand Singh was a menace down the right-wing. His 10 crosses, 2 shots on target, and 3 chances created speaks volume of the influence he had in the game.
