“There is a lot to play for. We have to recover quickly and get ready for the next game. If we keep delivering performances like that, we will win games for sure,” he said after the emphatic win against Chennaiyin FC.

Coyle was full of praise for his side’s commanding 4-1 victory, calling it one of their most complete performances of the season. “From start to finish it was an outstanding performance. Even in that little run we were far better than the points we picked up.
Today was about coming back home and showing what we are about,” he remarked.

The head coach credited his tactical adjustments for the turnaround, including deploying Lazar Cirkovic in central defence and introducing fresh faces into the starting XI.

The changes proved effective, with several players delivering standout performances. “Maddy coming in was a huge boost because of his quality. I thought Rosenberg was outstanding. A young player with real talent, and I was so pleased with his display,” Coyle said.

He also highlighted the attacking impact of Messi Bouli and Mohammed Sanan, both of whom played key roles in the victory. “I am delighted for Messi Bouli to get his goal. He works so hard. Sanan could have had four or five goals over recent games, and today he gets his reward,” he added.

Despite the dominant scoreline, Coyle pointed out areas that need tightening, particularly in defence. “I am disappointed with the goal we lost, not because of the finish, it was outstanding, but because we had three chances to clear it in the build-up. Those are the little things we have to improve,” he explained.

With the league standings finely poised, Coyle stressed the importance of consistency going forward.

“It was nice not only to win but to win with style and quality. The league is very tight, so we just have to keep winning games, one at a time, and see where it takes us,” he said.

Jamshedpur will next face FC Goa on May 1 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex. Tickets are available on the District by Zomato app.

Match dominance but disappointing result

Reflecting on the performance, Coyle was clear in his assessment, emphasizing that Jamshedpur controlled the game from start to finish. He said the team led across all areas of the pitch and created the better chances, making the final result frustrating.

Setback before half-time

Despite their dominance, Jamshedpur went behind just before half-time when Mumbai City scored with their first real opportunity. The goal came via a deflection, leaving the hosts aggrieved. Coyle noted that it was a moment his side should have handled better and admitted frustration at trailing despite being the superior team.

Relentless second-half pressure

The second half saw sustained attacking pressure from Jamshedpur, with continuous waves of attacks testing Mumbai’s defence. Coyle praised his players for their physicality, strength, and unity, highlighting their determination to keep pushing until the final whistle.

Late equaliser keeps hopes alive

Jamshedpur’s persistence paid off when Sarthak Golui scored a dramatic late equaliser with a header. The goal reflected the team’s fighting spirit, which has been a consistent feature of their campaign.

Focus shifts to upcoming matches

Despite the disappointment, Coyle remained optimistic about his team’s chances in the title race. With five matches remaining, he stressed the importance of converting strong performances into victories. He added that every game is crucial in the league and believes that if the team performs at its best, all remaining matches are winnable.
