It again saw three saves from Bengaluru goalkeeper Gurpreet Sandhu. Also, Bengaluru's Alan Costa hit the bar in the 83rd minute after a free-kick assist from Sunil Chhetri.

"I thought it was two adamant teams, a very competitive game. I wouldn't say scrappy, both teams were tested for the three points, and both created some wonderful chances to win the game. Gurpreet showed why he's a top goalkeeper with some wonderful saves. We could have been more clinical with the possession. But the effort and the energy we showed in the latter half is commendable. Bengaluru is a far better side than what possession suggests. So obviously, it was a callous and competitive game," said Jamshedpur head coach Owen Coyle after the match.
