Sentinel Digital Desk

Jamshedpur: Sergio Castel’s fine form in front of goal was not enough for Jamshedpur FC as NorthEast United fought back late for a pulsating 1-1 draw at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Monday.

The hosts were the dominant side in this Hero Indian Super League encounter and Spanish striker Sergio Castel's fifth goal of the season in the 28th-minute seemed to have given all three points for Antonio Iriondo’s men. But a 90th-minute equalizer from Panagiotis Triadis ensured NorthEast United’s unbeaten record remained intact.

The result sees Jamshedpur second on the table, level on points (11) with ATK at the top while NorthEast is now fourth with 10 points to their name. IANS
