Jamshedpur end string of defeats with 0-0 draw vs Hyderabad

Vasco (Goa), Jan 24 : Jamshedpur FC and Hyderabad FC settled for a point each after a goalless draw in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Tilak Maidan Stadium here, on Sunday.
While Hyderabad ended up drawing their third game on the trot, Jamshedpur nabbed their first point of the calendar year, after a hat-trick of losses.
New signings Farukh Choudhary and Seiminlen Doungel were among the four changes made by Jamshedpur while Roland Alberg was handed his first start as Hyderabad rang in two changes.
The opening half was an intriguing, open-ended contest with both sides hitting the post but failing to find the net. Hyderabad fashioned better chances but Jamshedpur keeper TP Rehenesh produced two fine saves to keep the scoreline 0-0 heading into the break.
Rehenesh was called into action in the ninth minute after Hyderabad started brightly. Aridane Santana found Joel Chianese with a neat through ball in the box but the latter’s effort was kept out by Rehenesh, who came off his line well in time.
The Jamshedpur custodian pulled off another fine save around the half-hour mark, denying Halicharan Narzary this time. Receiving the ball from Chianese, Narzary made his way into the box before drilling a shot at the far corner. Rehenesh dived full stretch to push the ball away, as it rattled the post.
