Jamshedpur FC displayed remarkable resilience, battling back from a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw against NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) in their recent AIFF Super Cup Group B encounter. The match, held in Bambolim, Goa, saw Jamshedpur FC salvage a crucial point in their Super Cup campaign.

The game started with both teams cautiously navigating the rain-soaked conditions. NorthEast United's Chema Nunez broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, followed by Alaaeddine Ajaraie who extended their lead with a clinical finish just nine minutes later. Facing elimination, Jamshedpur FC responded before halftime, with Pronay Halder, a former India international, scoring a header in the 43rd minute.

Jamshedpur's persistence paid off late in the game when Raphael Messi Bouli scored the equalizer in the 89th minute, rescuing a point for his team. The draw leaves both teams in a precarious position in Group B, with their hopes for a semifinal berth hanging in the balance.

With two points from two games, NorthEast United holds the second position in the group, while Jamshedpur FC remains at the bottom with only one point. Their chances of advancing now depend on the outcome of the match between FC Goa and Inter Kashi. A win for FC Goa would secure their place at the top of the table with six points, a total that neither Jamshedpur nor NorthEast can reach even if they win their final group matches.

Earlier in the season, Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United faced each other in the Kalinga Super Cup, where Jamshedpur emerged victorious after a penalty shootout. The match ended goalless, with Jamshedpur winning 5-4 on penalties.

The head-to-head record between the two teams reveals a competitive history. Out of 19 games since 2017, Jamshedpur FC has won 8, NorthEast United has won 4, and 7 matches ended in a draw.

The draw in this Super Cup encounter adds another chapter to the ongoing rivalry between Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United, with both teams fighting for a spot in the semifinals.
