Kalinga Super Cup: Rei Tachikawa Strike Takes Jamshedpur FC Into Maiden Final
Shri Himanshu Sekhar Sahoo: Japanese midfielder Rei Tachikawa scored the all-important goal in the 87th minute as Jamshedpur FC made it to the final of the Kalinga Super Cup for the first time, after defeating Mumbai City FC 1-0 at the Kalinga Stadium, here on Wednesday. Jamshedpur FC will take on FC Goa in the final to be played on Saturday.
In the second semifinal, Jamshedpur had more say in attacks from the beginning and breached the rival defence twice early in the match. While Mumbai averted danger at the expense of a corner at the start, goalkeeper Rehenesh Thumbirumbu was quick to thwart the set-piece a couple of minutes later.
Rehenesh came to his team’s rescue once again in the 31st minute when Jordan Murray’s header from inside the six-yard box had a goal written all over it. But Rehenesh displayed remarkable reflexes to rise to the occasion and punch away the ball.
