Manzorro goes for a shot from an extremely ambitious distance and sees his shot sail above the crossbar. 

Six minutes added at the end of the second-half!

Barla goes for a deep cross and finds Chukwu at the far-post. Chukwu goes for a first-time shot and rattles the side-netting. 

Mohun Bagan stitches another slick attack, which ends with Asish Rai attempting a shot at goal but seeing it blocked. 

MBSG subs: IN- Kiyan, Hnamte OUT- Petratos, Cummings

Cummings does well to find Manvir with a reverse pass. Manvir, who has been on his A-Game tonight, finds Sadiku with another classic cutbacks. Sadiku goes for a first-time shot and rattles the roof of the net for Mohun Bagan’s third. 

Manvir shows incredible vision to find Petratos with a first-time pass. Petratos makes his way into the box and shoots at the near-post. Rehenesh does well to make the save. The rebound falls to Petratos again and there is another shot from the Australian, which is saved by Rehenesh again. 

The contest resumes after the drinks break!

The match will have its second and last drinks break and by the looks of it, Mohun Bagan already has three points in the bag. 

JFC booking: Lakra becomes the latest player to get a yellow card. 

MBSG subs: IN- Asish, Sadiku OUT- Colaco, Kauko

Kauko does well to shield the ball and makes a timely pass to Manvir. Manvir spots the opening and threads a through ball to Cummings, who makes an excellent run inside the box. Rehenesh comes off his line to make it difficult for Cummings but the Australian finesses the ball into the far-corner for Mohun Bagan’s second. 

Stevanovic almost finds Barla, as the latter timed his run well to remain onside. But the weight of the pass is too much and Kaith gets to the ball before Barla does. 

Off the post - Cummings’ shot from the edge of the box rattles the crossbar and comes back into play. The rebound falls to Manvir, whose shot whistles past the post. 

JFC subs: IN- Stevanovic, Nikhil OUT- Elsinho, Sanan

Lakra finds Chukwu with an accurate cross from the right as the latter goes for a header. But Yuste is there to make the block. 

MBSG sub: IN- Thapa OUT- Tangri

Sanan cuts in and goes for a shot from the edge of the box but cannot hit the target as the ball sails over the crossbar. 

MBSG booking: Tangri is on the receiving end of a yellow card for a rash tackle on Elsinho. This means Tangri will miss the next match, which is the Kolkata Derby on March 10. 

JFC booking: Chukwu is shown a yellow card for a late and reckless challenge on Tangri. It was a rash challenge and could have been a red. 

Jason Cummings looked to have timed his run to perfection as he receives a long ball from Subhasish and makes his way towards the JFC goal. But the flag goes up for offside and the attack ends for the Mariners. 

JFC looks to get straight on the attack. Imran makes his way down the left flank and swing a cross inside the box, but it is not the best of deliveries. 

Mohun Bagan, however, cannot clear its lines and the ball falls to Ricky. Ricky shoots from distance and comes quite close to hitting the target.

Petratos’ seventh-minute goal keeps Mohun Bagan Super Giant in a 1-0 lead against Jamshedpur FC at the break. 

Tachikawa gets the ball at the edge of the box and goes for a shot from distance and ends up missing the target. Sanan, who was completely free on the right, is absolutely livid and with good reason. Sanan was in acres of space and if Tachikawa had found him with the pass, Jamshedpur could have been level. 

Four minutes added at the end of the first-half!

Chukwu gets the ball at the edge of the box but cannot get his shot away. Tachikawa sees the loose ball and goes for a shot, which is blocked. Imran, who was completely free on the left side of the box, is not happy with that. 

JFC subs: IN- Tachikawa, Ricky OUT- Siverio, Muirang

Muirang’s block of Petratos’ shot has come at a cost. Muirang seems to have an issue and cannot continue. He is carried off the pitch on a stretcher. 

Kauko finds Manvir on the right with a well-measured pass over the top. Manvir takes the usual route on the right and finds Petratos with a cutback. This time, the Australian does not go for a first-time finish. He takes the ball and tries to find the perfect opening to shoot. He finally takes his shot, which is on target, but Muirang clears the ball with his head. 

A beautiful passage of play as Chukwu and Manzorro combines at the edge of the Mohun Bagan box. Chukwu slips in a deft pass for Manzorro with a clever backheel and the latter returns the favour by setting up Chukwu for a shot with another clever backheel. Chukwu goes for a shot but it is saved by Kaith. 

The match resumes after the water break. Jamshedpur has created some promsing attacking situations but nothing substantial to trouble Mohun Bagan. The Mariners are very much in control. 

Manvir goes for a shot from distance but it is blocked by Imran. The ball comes back to the Mohun Bagan player and this time, he tries to find Petratos with a cutback, but ends up conceding possession. 

Manvir gets the ball on the left flank and goes for a shot from a tight angle this time instead of going for a cutback. It is an easy save for Rehenesh. 

Manvir finds Kauko with another cutback. The Finland international tries to pull the trigger but is tackled before he can take his shot. He goes down and looks at the referee, hoping for a penalty but the referee instructs for the play to continue. 

Imran gets the ball and finds himself with enough time and space to shoot at goal. He pulls the trigger from distance, connecting well with his effort. Kaith is put to work as he claws the ball out for a corner. 

Imran battles with Anwar Ali on the left, as the JFC tries to find a cross inside the box. Anwar wins the battle, as he sends the ball out for a corner. 

Liston brings down a diagonal with impeccable control and makes his way inside the Jamshedpur box. He tries to surprise Rehenesh by shooting at the near-post instead of looking for the curler, but Rehenesh shows good reflexes to get down and make the save. 

Laldinpuia does well to find Chukwu with a driven cross inside the box. Chukwu goes for an improvised finish but Subhasish comes in the way to make the block. That shot looked like it was heading in. 

Lakra swings an excellent cross at the far-post from the edge of the box, hoping to find Chukwu, but Anwar Ali is well-placed to anticipate the cross and heads the ball out for a corner. 

Joni Kauko splits the JFC defence as he finds Manvir Singh with an outside-of-the-boot pass. Manvir carries the ball and does well to find Petratos with a cutback. The Australian goes for a first-time finish from inside the box and finds the far corner of the goal. 

Imran had time and space to swing a cross inside the box from the right flank but his final delivery is disappointing as the ball goes out of play. 

It has been a balanced start at the Salt Lake. Neither team is dominating early but look very attacking with their approach play. 

The ISL 2023-24 clash between Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Jamshedpur FC is underway at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium) in Kolkata.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach Antonio Lopez Habas: “We respect our opponents and we are preparing well for the next match. The most important thing in this game will be to ensure that we do not concede goals from set-pieces.”

Jamshedpur FC head coach Khalid Jamil: “We have motivated the players. I motivate them after every single match. We have very good players with us, who are willing to work hard, which is a very good point for us.”
