Stephen Eze salvaged a point for Jamshedpur FC with an 85th-minute strike to help his side hold Hyderabad FC to a 1-1 draw in an Indian Super League match on Wednesday.

Aridane Santana scored his second goal of the campaign to give Hyderabad a 55th-minute lead.

The Nizams remain unbeaten in the competition while JFC are yet to taste victory.

It took less than five minutes for Hyderabad to launch their first attack.

 

Quick passing from Hyderabad allowed them to venture deep into Jamshedpur territory but Akash Mishra's final delivery in to the box failed to find Liston Colaco.

Jamshedpur dominated play in the first quarter. Nerijus Valskis and Alexandre De Lima kept the home defence on their toes with constant raids.

For Hyderabad, young Liston showed maturity beyond years, supporting the defence while not neglecting his attacking duties.

He nearly got his name on the scoresheet when his 12th-minute free-kick beat the wall but failed to find the goal.

Hyderabad were unlucky to have been denied by the post just before the breather.

After getting hold of his marker, Santana found Halicharan Narzary, who dribbled past Laldinliana Renthlei.

Having done everything right, Narzary was frustrated as his narrow-angled shot came off the far post.

Hyderabad were ahead five minutes after the restart with Santana scoring off a rebound. Narzary danced his way past Renthlei and pulled the trigger.

Goalkeeper Kumar only succeeded in diverting it into the path of Santana, who rolled the ball into the net.

With less than 20 minutes left, JFC thought they had scored, only for it to be disallowed by the referee.

But their efforts finally paid off in the 85th minute when Eze fired home from inside the box.

Chinglensana Singh's clearance off a Nerijus Valskis cross fell to William Lalnunfela who laid the ball for Eze. The Nigerian made no mistake with his powerful shot.
