Jamshedpur FC 1-0 FC Goa: Player Ratings as Daniel Chima scores the winner
Jamshedpur FC edged past FC Goa 1-0 on Friday to move one step closer to the top of the ISL table. With the win, Owen Coyle's team are just one point behind league-leaders Hyderabad FC with one game in hand.
Jamshedpur FC's winter signing Daniel Chima Chukwu scored his first goal for the club against FC Goa in the second half. Replays showed that the Nigerian was in an offside position when he received the ball, thus making the loss hard to digest for FC Goa.
The Gaurs now have 14 points from 14 matches and sit at the ninth position on the ISL table.
Brandon Fernandes' return to the starting XI was the only silver lining for FC Goa from this match. On that note, let us take a look at the player ratings from the match.
