Jamshedpur FC Vs 1 Ladakh FC Live Score, Durand Cup: JFC 2-0 1LFC; Red Miners On Verge Of Quarters Berth

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
