Jamshedpur: A brilliant strike from second-half substitute Raynier Fernandes helped Mumbai City FC beat Jamshedpur FC 2-1 in an Indian Super League clash at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Thursday. Paulo Machado's (15th minute) free-kick goal was cancelled out by Tiri's (37th) header from a corner-kick. Raynier (56th) then came off the bench to produce the match-winning goal. Jamshedpur and Mumbai City are now level on the table with 13 points from nine games, with the former occupying the fourth spot owing to a superior goal difference.
The first major chance of the game fell to Mumbai as early as the third minute. Bipin Singh attempted an audacious volley off a Modou Sougou cross from the right flank. The strike took a deflection on its way towards goal and forced a good save from Subrata Paul. The Islanders were persistent and converted the next chance that they got. Paulo Machado delivered a stunning free-kick from the left flank which beat Paul at his near-post.
