The 1-0 win helps the team climb to the second spot
Daniel Chima Chukwu rewarded Jamshedpur FC for signing him in the January transfer window from SC East Bengal as he scored the match-winner against FC Goa in the Indian Super League at Bambolim on Friday.
Chukwu appeared to be off-side when he got a long pass from the right from Laldinliana Renthlei in the 49th minute. The Nigerian raced into the box with a defender hot on his heels and produced a sliding shot that kissed goalkeeper Naveen Kumar’s fingers before rolling in.
The 1-0 victory, Jamshedpur’s sixth from 12 games, helped the side jump over Kerala Blasters and occupy the second spot in the 11-team league with 22 points while Goa stayed at the ninth position with 14 points from 14 matches.
