Good afternoon! Welcome to our live coverage of Jamshedpur FC vs Indian Army FT. The Durand Cup match in Jamshedpur starts at 4:00 PM IST, so stay tuned for pre-match updates and lineups when they're released.
Two changes for Jamshedpur FC from their last match. The players have lined up as per the formation, and the match gets underway in JRD Tatat Stadium as the referee blows his whistle!
JFC 0-0 IAFT
Indian Army have made a strong start to the game, enjoying more than half of the ball posession. Khalid Jamil's side will no doubt look to regroup quickly.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (5')
The best chance of the game so far, and it falls to Samir Murmu. The forward receives a cross from the right, and goes past Kartik and takes a shot with his right, and it misses the far post by inches. Manish Wahi can't believe it!
JFC 0-0 IAFT (10')
Another glorious chance for Indian Army to get the lead, and it comes from a cross by Rahul. The ball is floated into the box, and it is headed goalwards by Samananda Singh, but it goes inches wide. The defender should have done better from just six yards out.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (12')
Another chance for the Indian Army side. A long ball towards the Jamshedpur box, and Praful tries to poke it towards his goalkeeper. But Samir gets ahead of the defender and gets a shot off, but, luckily for Jamshedpur, it's straight at Amrit. A lucky respite for the home side.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (20')
Manish Wahi could not have asked for a better start, but the only thing missing is a goal. The away side have a had EIGHT shots, compared to ZERO by Jamshedpur FC. Rahul added another one to the stats, but it was off target.
Meanwhile, the first yellow card of the match goes to Shafee for a shirt pull to stop a Jamshedpur counter-attack. The first cooling break starts.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (30')
Two yellow cards in quick succession. First, Indian Army skipper Sunil earns a booking for a late challenge, and then Pronay puts in a late tackle on the former to get his name taken as well. The game is getting physical.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (36')
A long-distance effort from Samir, which comes after a foul by Pranoy - who is already on a yellow card. It's far off the top bar though.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (43')
Two minutes added on by the fourth official. Jamshedpur have shifted gears and are trying to break down the Indian Army defence.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (45')
A good effort from Vincy from outside the box, but it's tipped over by Amrit. The corner leads to nothing, and the referee blows his whistle for half-time! No goals, but an entertaining half of football.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (HT)
India have been placed in Group C of the Women's Asian Cup 2026, along with Japan, Vietnam, and Chinese Taipei.
The second half is underway at Jamshedpur. Can Idian Army capitalise on their dominance of the game and convert it into a goal, or will Jamshedpur FC pip them and get the opener?
Two chances by Khalid Jamil, with Vincy and Pranoy being taken off. Suhair and Nikhil Barla come on.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (45')
A better start for Jamshedpur. A header in the box is won by Ashutosh Mehta, and the defender has a swipe at goal that is kept out by the goalkeeper. The coner from Jayesh Rane is a disappointing one.
JFC 0-0 IAFT (49')
Jamshedpur FC take the lead against the run of play, and it comes through Sanan, who has been a livewire for the Red Miners. A good header from Kartik to find Sanan in thte middle of the box, and the forward shoots with his right that bounces and lodges itself in the bottom right corner.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (52')
Ever since the opening goal, Jameshedpur FC have pushed ahead and improved their attacking moves. Indian Army's defence isn't looking as strong as it did in the first half. After a shot by Suhair, there's a bit of confrontation between the two sides, and the referee has to step in to break it off.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (61')
Another possible chance goes begging for Indian Army. A great cross from the left by Sunil is received by Samir in the box, but the midfielder takes one touch too many and it's cleared by the defence.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (63')
After Rahul as an attempt that goes wide off the target, Manish Wahi makes his first change of the game, bringing on Ronaldo Singh in place of Samir.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (72')
The goalscorer Sanan is taken off by Khalid Jamil, and he goes off applauding the home support at the Furnace. Sreekuttan comes on in his place.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (77')
Good game management by Jamshedpur FC, who are pushing hard for a second goal in the final five minutes or so. A cross from Praful gets a double deflection before going out for a corner, and the resulting cross is cleared by the Indian Army defence.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (85')
A strange move by Khalid Jamil as Sreekuttan, who came on only seven or eight minutes ago, is taken off for Germanpreet Singh. Meanwhile, Indian Army bring on Wangden Tamang in place of Puia.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (87')
The fourth official indicates a minimum of seven minutes to be added on at the end of the ninety. Lifeline for Indian Army, who will push hard for an equaliser, with Liton hitting the bar with a fierce effort.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (90')
A big decision from the referee, as he sends off Indian Army goalkeeper Kadir! Rane was played through, and he clatters with Kadir and goes down in a heap, and the referee shows a straight red card. Replays show that the forward had actually lost posession of the ball before the challenge, and clattered into the goalkeeper, who was actually pulling out of the challenge. A very harsh call by the ref!
The red card means that Indian Army will play the rest of the clash with 10 men. Since they have made all of their substitutions, defener Samananda Singh will have to take over the goalkeeping duties.
JFC 1-0 IAFT (90+2')
A long-range effort from Wangden goes off target, and soon after, Jamshedpur almost got a second as Suhair's strike ricochets off the top bar.
The referee finally blows the final whistle, and Jamshedpur FC have secured a one-goal victory at their home ground.
