ISL 2020-21 | The draw was a fair result, asserts Owen Coyle

Jamshedpur FC were eyeing no less than a win when they took the field on Wednesday evening at the GMC Stadium, with them already without a victory for the last four matches. Even though Owen Coyle would have fancied their chances against a largely misfiring unit, it was Kerala Blasters FC that created more chances and dominated the game. Their head coach feels that draw was a fair result, considering both the teams failed to create serious goal-scoring opportunities.

"In the first 20 minutes we had total control on the game, we were very comfortable. And then 15 minutes prior to half-time Kerala Blasters gave us a few troubles. Both teams had opportunities. Not clear goal-scoring opportunities. They were half chances and that's why I say the draw was a fair result,” said Owen Coyle, during the post-match press conference.

The ‘Red Miners’ will be up against bottom-placed Odisha FC in their next encounter, at the same venue, this Monday evening. Coyle’s men can still make it to the play-offs with six matches to play in the group stage.
