Jamshedpur's 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) fixture against Mumbai City on Monday at the GMC Stadium was supposed to be a tactical battle involving players who are technically adept on the field.
And it was, for the first 30 minutes. It wasn't the cagey type of tactical battle though as both teams went all-guns-blazing in search for an opening goal.
Both defences and goalkeepers were tested very early on and it looked like Mumbai City, the more dominant side strictly based on possession stats, would take the lead. However, Nerijus Valskis had other ideas.
