Goa: NorthEast United FC  suffered 0-1 defeat against Jamshedpur FC at the Tilak Maidan Stadium, here on Friday.  Aniket Jadhav's strike (53') was the difference between the two team in what was the 500th game of the ISL. TP Rehenesh also pulled off a terrific penalty save in the second half to keep Jamshedpur's unbeaten streak against NorthEast intact.

Kwesi Appiah and Rochharzela were among the two changes made by NorthEast while Jamshedpur made three changes to their line-up. Both the teams were unable to break the deadlock in the first half as they managed to cancel out each other's threat. As a result, no shots on target were NorthEast started the second half with great intensity in pursuit of the opening goal. But a quick counter-attack from Jamshedpur saw them concede first. Isaac Vanmalsanwma and Jackichand Singh linked up well in the opposition box. The latter then swung in a cross for an unmarked Jadhav, who found the back of the net with ease.

But despite conceding first, the Highlanders too had their chance to make amends soon after the hour mark through a penalty. The referee pointed to the spot when Eze brought down Benjamin Lambot in the box. Sylla stepped up to take the spot-kick but Rehenesh dived the right way and produced a fine save to ensure his side remained in the driver's seat. Jamshedpur defended brillantly to bag their second win of the season.
