Punjab FC goalkeeper Ravi Kumar is certainly the star of the match as he made saves after saves in the second half. He was just impregnable tonight and the likes of Chima Chukwu, Allen Stevanoic and Rei Tachikawa learnt it the hard way! Jamshedpur FC 0-0 Punjab FC at FT

The referee blows the full time whistle and the match ends a stalemate between Punjab FC and Jamshedpur FC. Our sympathies for Chima Chukwu, whose spirited display since coming on at the hour mark turned JFC into a beast and brought the crowd to their feet but he couldn't find that winning goal. Jamshedpur 0-0 Punjab at Full Time
90+3' Chima Chukwu fires off target! Another chance goes begging after Emil Benny ran into the box for Ravi to come off his line and make a save. The loose ball fell to Chukwu, who tries to loop it into the far post but placed it off the target! How many more chances do Jamshedpur need?
90+2' Chima Chukwu misses the chance of the match for sure as his header from close range following an indirect freekick by Tachikawa hits the post after beating the goalkeeper!
90+1' The match moves into injury time and Punjab make a late change with four minutes added as Jordan Wilmar Gill comes in for Mehedi Talal!
87' Chima Chukwu uses his physicality again to win the ball inside the Punjab box but with zero angle to shoot, he squares it to unmarked Stevanovic waiting outside the box! The Swiss hits it the first time but the shot was blocked away! Stevanovic is taken off right after, along with Jitu as Nongdomba Noarem and Provat join the play in the dying minutes of the game!

84' The opportunity comes against the run of play as a cross into the box from the left wing was cleared poorly by Jitendra. The loose ball fell kindly to Talal outside the box as the Frenchman tries to curl it into the far post but goes wide! It can't get easier than that for a quality player like Talal
79' Stevanovic was set up nicely to the goal by Chima Chukwu following a brilliant counter started by Stevanovic himself! However, Ravi came off his line well to narrow the angle for the Swiss, who ended up hitting the ball off-target! Jamshedpur certainly deserve the lead for the way they have played since Chukwu came on but they have nothing to show for it as far as the scoreline is concerned
73' Rei Tachikawa is played free on the left flank by Stevanovic after being laid off by Chima Chukwu! Tachikawa sends in a lofted cross at the far post for Emil Benny, who couldn't connect but Chukwu reached there and fires a volley for a block by Punjab defender! The loose ball falls to Stevanovic, who volleys as well but straight to Ravi for a block!
71' Prasanth comes in for Brandon as first change for Punjab while Emil Benny replaces Nikhil Barla on Jamshedpur's left wing!
66' Chima Chukwu uses his physicality to perfection and beats a Punjab FC defender with a 180-degree turn and runs into the box to shoot! His effort, however, was blocked away for a corner by goalkeeper Ravi! The resulting corner was headed on target by Chukwu again but lacked the power to trouble Ravi, who dived to his right to collect it! The game has been so lively for Jamshedpur since the Nigerian came on!

63' Centre-back Pratik Choudhary sees the yellow card this time for riling up Mehedi Talal during a duel. Meanwhile Jamshedpur FC are showing more intensity in attack now with the physical presence of Chimachukwu in the box but they are yet to find a shot on target!
60' Seminlen Doungel and Steve Ambri are taken off for Chimachukwu and Sanan at the hour mark
58' The Spanish midfielder tracks the run of Talal and loops the ball into the box for the Frenchman but the offside flag was already up as Talal was caught off by less than an inch!

53' Luka is booked for tackling Nikhil Barla from behind! The card comes right after Juan Mera made a brilliant solo run from the right flank to get past at least three JFC defenders before making a poor pass to rushing Luka, who was expecting a pass in front of him but was directed right at him! Could have been the first goal of the night but at the end nothing came out of it
51' The Punjab attack seemed like an anomaly in the game as the game is back to being a damp affair with both sides struggling to build an attack that catches attention
47' What a chance for Punjab FC to take the lead! Goalkeeper makes a long clearance for Majcen and Mehdi Talal 40 yards from the JFC box and the duo combined well for Talal to release Luka inside the box but the Slovenian's left-footed shot was deflected away for a corner by Rehnesh TP for his first save of the night! The game needs more of that!
46' The second half gets underway but we are yet to see any improved intensity from either sides.
The second half is all set to begin as players are back on the field after the break. Not sure if there are any changes at half time, will reveal soon if there are any

Not a single shot on target by either side in the first half, much to the disappointment of the full house crowd at the JRD Tata Complex
The stoppage time goes without much of an action, except for an acrobatic half volley in the middle of the pitch by Tachikawa sees the ball hit Amarjit Singh Kiyam on the face, leading to a stoppage. The referee allows few extra seconds of play but none of the sides look like scoring. It's Jamshedpur 0-0 Punjab FC at half time
45+1' Both Punjab FC centre-backs are booked now as Chatziisiasis fouls Jitendra Singh, who was threatening to run free into the box following an attacking move by Jamshedpur! Meanwhile three minutes of stoppage time added
44' First card of the night and Melroy Assisi sees it, probably for dissent as there hasn't been any foul on any player in this passage of play.
41' A damp affair in the first 40 minutes as both sides have not shown any quality in attack or midfield to unlock each other defenses. The crowd too despite being in numbers has been largely quiet
35' Punjab's Luka Majcen cleverly wins a ball from centre-back Pratik Choudhary near the halfline and races to the Jamshedpur box before playing it to Mehdi Talal while expecting a return into the box but Talal goes for glory himself and shoots for a Jamshedpur defender to block it! A sporadic attack by Punjab FC and may feel it was a great opportunity to take the lead against the run of play!
33' The match has been sparkless cagey-affair in the last few minutes as the action is mostly bogged down in the middle of the park in the last few minutes.
30' Punjab FC have managed a few sporadic attacks but have struggled to beat the offside trap of Jamshedpur FC so far. Goes without saying, no shot on or off target so far by the visitors
26' Multiple fouls early in the game has halted the pace and rhythm of the game as none of the sides have really shown the combination play to trouble each other.

22' Rei Tachikawa plays Steven Ambri through on the left flank, who sends in a cross for Stevanovic in the centre but the cross was cleared before it could reach the striker! Tachikawa is fouled right after Juan Mera, who fouled the same player few seconds ago
"The philosophy of what we build always stays the same, the exciting football and hard work; these aspects always stay the same," said Jamshedpur coach Scott Cooper ahead of the match. "We always have some tweaks, depending on who is playing well in training, and how we see the opponents. We don't do any experiment, if we do something, it's because we think it helps us to win the game."
Punjab FC, on the other hand, picked their first point in ISL in their last game against NorthEast United FC after losing to Mohun Bagan (3-1) and FC Goa (1-0) in their first two games in what was a tough welcome for them in the top-tier of Indian football.
"It is a big challenge for us against one of the very good teams," Punjab FC head coach Staikos Vergetis said. "A good result will come with a good performance. I don't think it will be easy for us. We know we have a difficult game, but we have put a plan for the game for how we will face the opponent and we will try to bring discipline into the plan. I have a lot of faith in our players that they will apply this plan in the match and finally, we will see."
