80' 10 minutes plus stoppage time to go and going by how the play is unfolding, it looks like the players have already heard the full timw whistle in their heads.

45' + 1' Passi tries to curl the ball from the left but the 'keeper makes an easy save.
45' The goal has given Nestor confidence! He crosses from the halfway line and Bobo with a good first touch to bring it under control but the striker's shot is blocked.
39' David Grande tries to find the equaliser immediately but his effort from outside the box goes wide.
39 ' GOAL! NESTOR BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! At the edge of the Jamshedpur box, he cut back to his left and fired one in off the crossbar. Nothing the 'keeper could've done. The shot had too much power on it.

32' The home team wins a freekick and Marcelinho's cross falls to Adil Khan, who sees his header bounce off the keeper's foot for a corner.
30' Hyderabad FC patiently builds an attack. A couple of one-touch passes sees Bobo get possession with his back to goal at the edge of the box. And the striker, trying to find Marcelinho, sends his pass to a Jashedpur FC player near the halfway line. That passage of play sums up tonight's game so far.
28' Joyner sticks his foot out to intercept Marcelinho's through ball to Bobo.
24' Rafique Ali with a good, diving save! Marko Stankovic's shot from a long way out is curling to the goal and Ali did well to dive high to his right and push it out for a corner, which comes to nothing.
23' Marcelinho with a fanatstic cross into the box that falls to Nestor, whose cutback across the face of the goal goes to Bobo but the striker fumbles his shot. That was a fantastic chance to break the deadlock.
21' Looks like Amarjit Singh Kiyam will come on soon. Castel is hobbling across the pitch.
20' Marcelinho and Mobashir come together and the Brazilian is down on the floor. There was contact between the players but it happened right behind the referee.
19' A quick throw-in releases Castel down the left wing but he takes too long to pull the trigger and the Hyderabad defence scrambles back to clear the danger.
18' The first shot of the game come from the visiting side. Noe Acosta gets the ball outside the box, turns and takes a shots that almost rolls into Kattimani's hands.
13' Sahil makes a makes a fantastic run to the Jamshedpur box but can't find the right pass. And immediate on the counter attack, Grande can't find the pass either. End-to-end stuff but not as exciting as it sounds.
12' Bobo is freed down the middle on the counter and he takes a shot from just outside the box but the ball flies well wide.
7' Both teams are barely putting together five passes before losing possession. Both have scored very few goals this season but their defences have been pretty porous, which keeps us optimistic about seeing goals tonight.
4' Off the post! Marcelinho delivers a delicious corner and Adil Khan gets to the end of it but it bounces off the post. THe camera pans to Igor Stimac and the Indian national team coach is busy making notes.
