Three yellow cards in the first half
In the goalless first half, high-pressing football was played between the two teams, due to which both sides were repeatedly fouled to win the ball and referee Aditya Purkayastha had to show the yellow card thrice. Although during this time one or two good attacks were made from the Goa side, but Jamshedpur was far behind in this matter.
