East Bengal vs Jamshedpur HIGHLIGHTS, Kalinga Super Cup: Siverio, Hijazi strikes send East Bengal into final

That’s it from the match. We will be back for the second semifinal which will be played between Mumbai City FC and Odisha FC at the same venue. Who will contest with East Bengal in the final. We’ll find out soon enough!

Carles Cuadrat has taken his East Bengal into the final of the Kalinga Super Cup. A goal each on either side of the half-time break enough to book their date for the final. Hijazi scored the first before Siverio added the second. There was the chance for a third if not for Cleiton’s penalty miss. Jamshedpur FC showed spark in moments, but they remained too far and few between to trouble East Bengal.

Sanan is the target for a long ball from the midfield but Prabhsukhan is up for the task and catches it.

Seven more minutes left in the match.

Another chance for Jamshedpur. A corner from Manzorro is headed at the far post but goes over.

CHANCE! Manzorro squeezes through space and takes a shot at goal. Whizzes just wide of the left post.

Elsinho’s header is tipped over the bar by Prabhsukhan. Jamshedpur has found some inner reserve after that penalty miss, it seems.

OFF THE WOODWORK! This time it is for Jamshedpur. Pratik meets a corner delivery with a towering header but only to find the post.

CLEITON SILVA HITS THE CROSS BAR! Would you believe that? He goes for power on that penalty and hits it straight into the crossbar. No three-goal lead for East Bengal.

PENALTY FOR EAST BENGAL. Sayan Banerjee who has just come on the pitch is fouled from behind when he moves in behind into the box.

Sanan makes a dart in behind down the left and puts in the cross. Elsinho has the ball for him but has his back turned to the goal.

Cleiton is fouled near the centre circle.

Suhair and Rakip tussle for the ball. The East Bengal forward is able to emerge standing from it and wins a corner for his side.

Nongdamba with a counter attack. As he looks to play the final through ball in the box, he gives a hint to the man marking Yamboi. The defender steps in and makes the clearance.

Now Nikhil tries to get the ball into the box for Jamshedpur. But his left-footed cross is too weak and cleared away easily.

Elsinho stands at the near post to clear a ball in from the right.

Another change for East Bengal

IN - Suhair | OUT - Siverio

Nongdamba cuts in from the left. He finds the space to shoot but the power is missing and the ball crawls out of play.

Three changes for Jamshedpur

IN - Yamboi, Nikhil, Nongdamba | OUT - Uvais, Nikhil, Yamboi

This time Pardo takes no chance with a cross into his box. He clears it over the touchline to concede a corner.

Manzorro opens the ball wide to Imran on the left. The winger puts the cross in where Pardo miscues a clearance before Prabhsukhan is able to get it and end the attack.

Two changes for East Bengal. 

IN - Mandar, Chhetri | OUT - Nishu, Vishnu

Nandha beats a man as he cuts into his right. But that is about it. The shot that follows is from a long way outside the box. It does not have enough whip on it to bend and test the keeper.

CHANCE! Prabhsukhan, not the first time today, wobbles the ball out of his grip. That allows a second bite to Jamshedpur. Thankfully, for the custodian, the defence is able to clear it away.

Sanan with a cross from the right wing. He wins a corner for Jamshedpur.

Manzorro tries to charge down the middle of the park seeing spaces in the defence. But the East Bengal unit is quick to get back into shape which forces the attack wide to the right.

Nishu with a longe ball towards the cross from the left side. Rehenesh charges down the line to get to the ball.

The goal has given the edge back to East Bengal. Longer possession spells, neat passing moves and a spring in the stride. Jamshedpur had a bit of momentum at the end of the first half, but it will have to win that back now.

GOAL! Out of nowhere, East Bengal has struck. Nishu makes an overlap into the final third past Nandha. The ball is pin point accurate for the left back who crosses. Siverio slips past his marker in the centre and slots the ball past Rehenesh. 

Jamshedpur FC starts the half but gives the ball away immediately.

It is advantage East Bengal at the half-way mark in the semfinal. Hijazi is the pivotal goal-scorer who separates the sides. East Bengal started off on the front foot, creating overloads down the flanks in the final third. Jamshedpur, however, grew into the contest as the contest progressed and promise to put up a fight in the second 45 minutes.

A last ditch attack by Jamshedpur lands the side a corner kick. It is taken quickly but yields no real chance.

Elsinho with a diving header to clear a Saul cross from the right.

Four minutes of injury time signalled by the fourth official.

What a counter! The attack starts deep in the East Bengal half. Vishnu carries the ball for a long way before he gets it back near the penalty area. His left-foot curler is headed to the bottom left before Rehenesh parries it away.

PENALTY CALLS! Vishnu steps on the peddle and zooms in behind to chase a long ball. Uvais is trying to stay with him and stop him. The tackle comes in inside the box which looks like a tug. Vishnu goes down but the referee plays the game on.

Jamshedpur finally looks to have a foot in the door. The chances have gone up and it looks like a much more even contest now.

BLOCKED! Manzorro’s free kick is cleared by Prabhsukhan, but he cannot get back up to stop the subsequent shot from Imran. But Pardo stands in front of the goal and does not allow the shot to breach the net.

Nishu again fails to make the most of an entry into the opposition box. He takes too long to get the final pass across goal and gets the ball stolen off him.

CHANCE! Tachikawa gets a surprise deflection on Pravot Lakra’s meek shot. Prabhsukhan was expecting the ball to roll wide before it jagged back sharply towards him.

Tachikawa with a long range attempt. It is on target and the fumble from Prabhsukhan would have given a mini-heart attack to East Bengal too, but in the end he is able to pick it with rather ease.

Jamshedpur is forced to make a change. Steve Ambri is injured and gets replaced by Sanan Mohammed.

The corner delivery is at the far post from Manzorro. The header flies off target and the chance goes begging for Jamshedpur.

SAVED! Prabhsukhan with a save on shot taken by Manzorro from the centre.

Cleiton chips a ball in for Vishnu but the keeper comes off his line to collect the pass before the attacker.

A corner for Jamshedpur FC from the left. But Manzarro’s delivery is in the six yard box but cleared.

Ambri tries to take on Nandha with a dribble but the East Bengal defender is not one to be fooled. He gets the foot in to take the ball off him.

Pardo spots the keeper off his line and launches an effort from the centre circle. Rehenesh has to track back a few step but he is able to pouch the ball.

A task at hand now for Jamshedpur FC. How does it come back from this?

East Bengal takes the lead! Hijazi with the close-range finish. The corner comes from the left but goes to the right edge of the penalty area. Saul is up there to collect it, he moves two paces in front and slashes it across the face of goal. The keeper is beaten by the square ball and behind him, Hijazi stands tall and slots the ball home.

Nandha wins a corner for East Bengal down the left.

Imran Khan chips in a ball into the East Bengal box. A lunging Semboi gets a foot to it but not enough to test the keeper.

A set piece for Jamshedpur on the left. Manzorro whips in a cross but it is a comfortable collection for Prabhsukhan.

Vishnu intercepts a pass high up front and East Bengal gets an overload down the middle. He tries a through ball to Cleiton but the defender reads the pass and gets in between.

Tachikawa and Uvais try to combine down the left flank but the latter is caught offside. 

SHOT! Vishnu cuts to his left, beats a defender and fires a shot. It stays low and does not have venom to beat Rehenesh.

A first attack for Jamshedpur. Tachikawa is in behind and plays a square ball from the right baseline. Cleared! 

Nishu Kumar is found on an overlapping run with a brilliant chipped pass. Inside the Jamshedpur box, he is crowded out by three bodies and eventually gives the ball away.

Rehenesh comes off his line to prevent a corner. A diving clearance gets a throw in for East Bengal.

Vishnu and Siverio try to play a one-two at the edge of the penalty area. But the latter misplaces his pass back and the move fizzles out.

Siverio is done with the treatment and the play can finally resume.

Siverio is down in the box after the set piece. There was a tackle on him but the referee denies all claims of a penalty.

A corner for East Bengal. A cross comes in from the left aimed at Cleiton but it is cleared.

East Bengal tries a couple of aerial balls in the first two minutes but nothing to test the Jamshedpur defence much.

East Bengal starts the first half with possession.
