Post-match comments!!

Sunil Chhetri came closest to scoring after hitting his header hit the crossbar in the 84th-minute but it was one of those matches when the ball just wouldn't end up inside the goal.

Both teams had their fair share of chances but ultimately share spoils in a goalless draw.

Full-time (Jamshedpur FC 0-0 Bengaluru FC)!!

90+3' Chance- Rehenesh was off his line and Ibara with a glorious chance to slot the ball inside the net. But the forward fluffs his shot.

Match resumes!!

Drinks break!!

75' Save- Stewart slipped a wonderful through-ball. He reaches the ball a bit late, which allows Gurpreet to come out and make a save.

73' BFC Sub- Sunil Chhetri replaces Cleiton Silva. A bizarre decision by Pezzaiuoli as Silva has been BFC's best player today.  Silva does not look happy.

72' Shot- BFC loses possession again while trying to play out from the back- Ibara cannot get to Gurpreet's pass and Lima pounces on the ball. He shoots and it is not too far away.

71' Stewart is beating defenders for fun as he dribbles past three BFC players. He is clipped and it is a JFC foul.

57' Jitendra brings down Udanta just outside the box right when the BFC forward was going to pull the trigger.

54' Chance- Cleiton delivers a great ball from a BFC freekick, which finds Ibara. Ibara's header however, lacking the quality of the preceding cross by Silva. Goalkick to BFC.

37' Komal Thatal of JFC down right now- he is receiving medical attention.

35' We are seeing some scrappy football right now by both teams. None of them seem to be doing anything substantial with the ball right now.

32' TP Rehenesh with some risky bit of play as he takes too much time to pick the ball up as Udanta comes rushing at him with his blistering pace.

Match resumes!!

Drinks break!!

11' Bruno with an off the ball body check on Stewart inside the BFC box. He is lucky that the referee did spot that.

MATCH PREVIEW: ISL 2021-22: Winless Bengaluru wary of Jamshedpur threat

Bengaluru FC  (BFC) faces a tough challenge against a strong  Jamshedpur FC  in an  Indian Super League  (ISL 2021-22) outing at Bambolim on Monday.

BFC, winless in six games, takes on Jamshedpur FC, which is fresh from a 4-0 victory over Odisha FC in its previous outing. BFC, however, can take some positives from a 3-3 draw earned against ATK Mohun Bagan a few days ago.

Suresh Wangjam returns to the BFC squad after the midfielder served his one-match ban for picking up a red card against FC Goa. Naorem Singh will miss out due to suspension (four yellows).

The Jamshedpur FC frontline poses a serious threat. Scotland’s Greg Stewart is in form, having scored the club’s first-ever hat-trick in the victory over Odisha FC.

“They have four very good attacking players, and Greg Stewart is one of them. We’ve played two pre-season friendlies against them, and have an idea of the kind of threat they possess,” BFC head coach Marco Pezzaiuoli said.

Jamshedpur FC has won three of its last five games, and will look to build on its good form. "Greg Stewart is a wonderful player. That's why I got him to the football club. I told everybody in the pre-season about his qualities and it's nice when I am vindicated,” Jamshedpur head coach Owen Coyle said.
