UditVani, Shillong: Jamshedpur FC Reserves made an emphatic start to their Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) campaign with a 3-0 triumph over Senapati FC at the MFA Ground. The young Red Miners, captained by Puia, displayed a perfect blend of attacking prowess and defensive discipline to claim three crucial points in the Rest of India regional qualifiers.
Early Lead Sets the Tone
Jamshedpur dominated the first half, with midfielders Remson, Amzad, Zuala, and Puia dictating play through smooth attacking transitions. Captain Puia’s relentless energy was evident as he created several chances. In the 13th minute, Puia finally broke through, cutting inside after receiving a pinpoint pass from Amzad and finishing clinically into the far corner.
Jamshedpur’s defense, marshaled by goalkeeper Adnan, stood firm, restricting Senapati FC to only two shots on target. Adnan’s spectacular save in the final moments of the half ensured Jamshedpur maintained their 1-0 lead going into the break. Despite opportunities, including a near-miss by Zuala in the 44th minute, the young Red Miners couldn’t extend their advantage before halftime.
Second-Half Brilliance Seals the Win
The second half saw Jamshedpur intensify their attacking intent. In the 50th minute, a long ball from Adnan reached Zuala, who outpaced the defense and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper, doubling the lead. Just six minutes later, Remson added the third goal with a perfectly executed header from Amzad’s precise cross.
Jamshedpur controlled the tempo for the remainder of the match, leaving Senapati FC with no room for a comeback. The victory reflects their readiness to take on tougher challenges in the league.
