Check out Jamshedpur FC (and now India men's national team) head coach Khalid Jamil's pre-match comments below:

Play gets underway at the JRD Tata Sports Complex. Jamshedpur FC attacking from right to left and 1 Ladakh from left to right in the first half. Remember that a draw is enough for the Red Miners to advance to the last eight, while the Ladakhis really need a win.

The Red Miners employ a high press early in the game and start creating opportunities. 1 Ladakh ward them off and then generate a chance of their own. Nothing comes off it though.

Jamshedpur FC have eased up a bit after the early pressing, perhaps owing to the fact that they need no more than a draw. But just as we say that, the Red Miners earn a free kick and Jayesh Rane forces a save from the 1 Ladakh 'keeper.

Disappointment for 1 Ladakh! They go behind after an inadvertent touch from Siju in the 28th minute. Vincy Barretto sends in a cross, and Siju, in his endeavour to clear the ball, puts it in the back of his own net.

1 Ladakh garner a free-kick in a potentially dangerous position in the 41st minute, but nothing comes off it as the defensive wall comes to Jamshedpur FC's rescue. Half-time fast approaching now.

After less than two minutes of added time, the first half comes to an end with the scoreline reading 1-0 in Jamshedpur FC's favour. An own goal put the Red Miners ahead, and 1 Ladakh must make amends if they are to stay alive in the competition.

What a cracking start to the second half for Jamshedpur FC. Centre back Praful Kumar pounces on a stray ball in the box, almost like a centre forward, seconds after the whistle to double the Red Miners' lead. 1 Ladakh's woes compound as Khalid Jamil's men now have one foot in the quarter-finals.

20 minutes remain for the full 90, and 1 Ladakh need at least two goals to realistically stay alive in Durand Cup. One doesn't see the Red Miners conceding twice now, though we all know the kind of difference a goal makes to a football match.

1 Ladakh are still trying hard to find their opening goal, but the Jamshedpur FC defence is far too seasoned to let them break in easily. A comeback is looking increasingly unlikely from here.

The final whistle rings out after five minutes of added time, and 1 Ladakh are unable to break through and Jamshedpur FC win it 2-0. That confirms the Red Miners' passage to the quarter-finals, and they go through with three wins out of three in the group stage.

As for 1 Ladakh, they have just one point from two games and even if they beat Indian Army FT in their last group game, they are unlikely to qualify given that only two of the second-placed teams from the six groups will advance.
