#1 End to end start to an exciting game

With practically nothing but respect to play for, NorthEast United started the game without a care in the world. They looked calm and composed and sprayed the ball to all parts of the pitch.

Maic Sema and Marcinho displayed intent on creativity whenever they ventured forward. Jamshedpur, on the other hand, had a whole lot to play for. With a spot in the top 4 up for grabs, they played like a team under some pressure but that did not stop them from patiently building their attack every-time they got the opportunity to do so.

One thing common among both teams was the vast number of misplaced passes. With one trying to outdo the other, both teams also made multiple errors, especially in the middle of the park.
