For a team that still has a minor chance at making it to the playoffs, it was surprising to watch Jamshedpur succumb to ATK's relentlessness right from the first minute at the JRD Sports Complex on Sunday.
There were 19000 fans present - more than twice the attendance for Kerala Blasters' home game on Saturday - to watch Jamshedpur put up a fight against one of the best teams in the league this season. They would have hoped that the hosts would respond with vigour to going down to a second-minute goal, that too following a defensive error.
