Shillong, February 11: Jamshedpur FC Reserves will take on NorthEast United FC in a high-stakes Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) Zonal Round (NorthEast) fixture on February 12 at Wahiajer Stadium. With both teams eyeing a spot in the National Championship, this encounter could prove decisive in shaping the standings.
Jamshedpur FC are currently in third place with six points from four matches, having bounced back with a resilient 3-1 victory over Mizoram Youth Football Foundation in their previous outing. Despite being reduced to 10 men in the first half, goals from Bivan Jyoti Laskar, Remson, and Lawmsangzuala secured a much-needed win. With confidence restored, Jamshedpur will look to build on this momentum and close the gap on the league leaders.
NorthEast United FC, meanwhile, sit atop the table with 10 points from four matches, making them the team to beat. They began their campaign with a dominant 5-0 win over Classic FA and have remained unbeaten so far. A victory for Jamshedpur FC would not only boost their own chances of qualification but also tighten the race at the top.
