Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC squared off in the 36th match of the Indian Super League at Bambolim Stadium, Goa. The match ended in a 0-0 stalemate as both teams failed to break the deadlock.
It was a frustrating night for Bengaluru FC as their torrid run continued. The Blues have now managed to win only one of their 8 matches, occupying 10th position in the league table. Meanwhile, Jamshedpur FC continued their own inconsistent form as they were unable to impress once again.
The Red Miners have been in hot and cold form throughout the season. However, this point helped them to 2nd place in the table. It was an evenly contested game but the frontline for both teams lacked that final touch to break the deadlock.
