The Khalid Jamil Impact? Ashutosh Mehta, Federico Gallego starred in NorthEast United's convincing display

The 11 players that took the field for NorthEast United against Jamshedpur had a single objective - a win.

They had gone seven games without a win and that run had cost Gerard Nus his job as head coach. The players needed to step up and they needed to find motivation from somewhere.

Enter Khalid Jamil. The experienced Indian coach, known for scripting history with the I-League-winning Aizawl years ago, seemed to have given the players a booster dose of motivation. The Highlanders delivered a solid performance on the field and defeated Jamshedpur 2-1 to end their winless run.
