Here are the details for matchweek 15 of ISL 2024-25 with the latest match report coming first:
Jamshedpur FC 2 - 1 Bengaluru FC
(Murray 84', Uvais 90'; Noguera 19')
Jamshedpur FC came from behind in stunning fashion to take all three points against second-spot Bengaluru FC, in a game where BFC had the upper hand for most of it.
When Alberto Noguera swept in a lovely flowing BFC move (Roshan Singh's assist), it looked like they would be hard to stop. Sunil Chhetri, in great form this season, hit the woodwork and then fluffed a couple of chances, but it seemed for all the world that it would be academic.
Until Jordan Murray fashioned a chance out of nothing in the 84th minute: heading a long to himself, holding off timid attempts by Nikhil Poojary to throw him off, and bicycle kicking it in (off the shin) from close range. With the equaliser, the home team started to dominate, and the pressure paid off in the end. A freekick into the box was punched away by Gurpreet, but straight to Mohammed Uvais who lobbed the India #1 with a superb first-time cushioned volley.
The result means Bengaluru remain five points behind Mohun Bagan, while Jamshedpur clamber over NorthEast to fourth in the league.
Odisha FC 2 - 4 FC Goa
(Jahouh 26' (P), Jerry 88'; Brison 8', 53', Udanta 45'+2', Ranawade 56' (OG))
Brison Fernandes continued his stellar form as a brace from the young winger helped Manolo Marquez's FC Goa dismantle a sluggish Odisha FC 4 - 2 in the Kalinga stadium.
Brison started the scoring with a poacher's finish after a bit of pinball in the area in the 8th minute before Ahmed Jahouh equalised via the penalty spot just before the half hour mark. It was an even match for the most part, but then Udanta Singh clinically put away a rapid counter just before the halftime whistle.
Brison made it three with a stunning curler from distance soon after, and Odisha were left chasing the game from there. Three minutes after Brison's second, he was at the far post looking to tap in a hattrick, but Odisha right back Amey Ranawade poked his leg to intercept and turned it into his own goal. From there, it was all Goa, even as Jerry headed in a late consolation.
Goa are now third, and putting pressure on both Bengaluru and Bagan at the top, while Odisha are stuck in sixth, ahead of Mumbai only on goal difference.
NorthEast United FC 0-0 Mohammedan SC
NorthEast United FC climbed to third in the table after a goalless draw against bottom-placed Mohammedan SC, with the hosts left frustrated by the visitors - who earned their second consecutive goalless draw.
The first half was an even affair, with an end-to-end contest that saw both teams spurn plenty of chances to score, the final action evading both attacks. The visitors had the best chance of the half late on, after Lalremsanga Fanai ran onto a backpass from Asheer Akhtar, rounded Gurmeet Singh in goal, but slipped when about to score into an empty net - meaning Mohammedan went into the break without conceding for the seventh game in a row.
The half-time substitution of Franca had an immediate impact for the visitors, with a superb cross begging to be headed home, but Bikash Singh Sagolsem made a mess of his effort. Alexis Gomes went close for Mohammedan from a free-kick on the hour mark, but NEUFC also threatened when Guillermo Fernandez hit the post from a flick at the near post, ten minutes later. Both teams huffed and puffed towards the end of the match, and survived scrambles in the box, but had to make do with a point apiece as the final whistle blew.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant 3-0 Hyderabad FC
(Stefan Sapic 9' (OG), Tom Aldred 41', Jason Cummings 51')
Mohun Bagan Super Giant started the new year with a 3-0 victory over Hyderabad FC in their Indian Super League match at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Thursday.
Jose Molina's men were on the offensive and went ahead courtesy of an own goal from Stefan Sapic followed by a superb goal from Tom Aldred in the first half. Early in the second half, Jason Cummings scored the third as they secured their 10th win of this season of the competition.
After 14 matches, Bagan extend their lead at the top to 32 points while Hyderabad are 12th with just eight points from their 14 games.
Mohun Bagan will next feature in the Kolkata Derby against East Bengal FC on January 11 whereas Hyderabad will travel to face FC Goa on January 8.
