East Bengal vs Jamshedpur, ISL Live scorecard: Catch all the live updates of the high-voltage Indian Super League clash as EBFC take on JFC in Kolkata. Stay tuned for live scores and match updates.
East Bengal vs Jamshedpur FC Live Score and Updates: East Bengal go into the break with a slender 1-0 lead, thanks to Edmund Lalrindika’s 41st minute strike, who manages to squeeze in past everyone amidst a crowd of JFC defenders. It has been an evenly contested game so far as the Red Miners also had their fair share of chances to score.
JFC’s two goals have been ruled out as off-side as EB kept their off-side trap on point. The home side made a tactical change by bringing in Mohammed Rakip in place of Lalchungnunga as Oscar Bruzon wanted to back his defense more compact.
East Bengal enters the match sitting in first place, riding the momentum of a dominant 4-1 victory over Sporting Club Delhi. Under head coach Óscar Bruzón, the “Red and Gold Brigade” has been lethal in attack, scoring seven goals in their opening two games. Youssef Ezzejjari has been the standout, already netting four times this season, while Brazilian playmaker Miguel Figueira has provided the creative spark in midfield.
Jamshedpur FC, the “Men of Steel,” offer a starkly different challenge. Currently fourth (separated only by goal difference), Owen Coyle’s side has mastered the art of the 1-0 win. They arrive in Kolkata with a perfect defensive record, having kept clean sheets against both Mohammedan SC and Punjab FC. For Coyle, this match is about whether his compact, organized defensive block can withstand the league’s most potent offense.
Historically, Jamshedpur FC holds a razor-thin advantage in this fixture. The “Men of Steel” have often proved to be a difficult puzzle for the Red and Gold Brigade to solve.

That’s it! Full-time! East Bengal lose! Jamshedpur win by 2-1! A late goal by Rei Tachikawa turned out to be the difference as EB failed to capitalise on their attacking resources.
GOAAL!! Rei Tachikawa scores a brilliant curling effort, which leaves the entire Salt Lake Stadium stunned, silence!!
East Bengal in this match have got themselves 10 corners and they failed to get anything out of it.
East Bengal have been put under heavy pressure lately. The home-side need to build and build well. With a little over 12 minutes of regulation time left, EB will have to bring in their Plan B.
It looks like Anwar Ali and Mohammed Rakip have hurt themselves after a clash of heads. They are now up on their feet, look fine to play.
