In the Kalinga Super Cup 2025, Jamshedpur FC reached the semi-finals after beating North East United FC 5-4 in a dramatic penalty shootout at the Kalinga Stadium yesterday.

The match had ended in a stalemate after regulation time, forcing a nervy penalty shootout that went into sudden death.  Jamshedpur have proven to be a thorn in Juan Pedro Benali’s side after having been knocked out of the ISL Playoffs with a 2-0 win on March 30.

Khalid Jamil’s men showed great composure under pressure, even after Jordan Murray and Stephen Eze missed during the initial set of five penalties. North East United had their share of troubles, with Guillermo Fernandez and Michel Zabaco missing their early attempts.

Despite rallying to tie the shootout at 3-3, Northeast faltered in sudden death when Asheer Akhtar skied his shot, while Ashutosh Mehta and Lazar Cirkovic converted for Jamshedpur.

The win sets up a semi-final clash between Jamshedpur FC and Mumbai City FC on Wednesday
