Jay Thomas converted the penalty before before Chukwu beat Nim Dorjee Tamang and dinked one over Biaka to give Jamshedpur a two-goal lead.The second half came to life after Eli Sabia was sent off for pulling Javi Siverio down.

Hyderabad did find a goal through Ogbeche's strike late in the game, and could have taken all three points with a late goal.Javi Siverio got a chance just before the final whistle, but his header was straight at the keeper as Hyderabad failed to take their chances and fell to a narrow defeat.The win keeps Hyderabad on 39 points from 19 games, as they now gear up for the final league clash against Kerala Blasters at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on February 26.
