Boothroyd expressed how both sides were playing for pride, and it was a difficult game to play.

“It was a difficult game for both the teams, both teams are playing for pride and everyone played with enthusiasm. In the end, we were the better team and deserved the three points.

The clean sheets have not come easily for the Red Miners this season, with this being only second of the season for them. The Jamshedpur FC head coach feels staying solid at the back plays a important role in winning titles.

“We kept a clean sheet which is very important because that is how you build championship teams. I am pleased with tonight’s game and pleased with the result but we have a lot of work to do,” he stated.

With three games left to play, Jamshedpur FC face ATK Mohun Bagan in their next match at home. Talking about the areas of improvement for Jamshedpur FC, Boothroyd feels his side need to tighten up at the back and score more goals.

“We do not keep enough clean sheets. So tonight, is good for that. We create a lot of chances, but not convert them. We have had 15 shots in the last two games, so we've got to score more goals,” he added.
