ISL 2023-24: One point outside home is always good: Bengaluru FC’s Gerard Zaragoza after draw against Jamshedpur FC

Bengaluru FC head coach Gerard Zaragoza feels one point outside home is always good after sharing a point with Jamshedpur FC. The Blues played a 1-1 draw against the Red Miners at the JRD Tata Sports Complex, Jamshedpur on Sunday in the 14th matchweek of the Indian Super League.

Suresh Singh scored the opening goal for the tourists in the 14th minute. However, Javi Siverio equalized for Jamshedpur FC in the 70th minute of the game.

The visitors had 42.9% possession whereas they could only take two shots on target and thus Zaragoza was delighted to share a point with the opposition.

“The thing is that we were really tired. It was a tough week for us, playing away from home in Delhi, then coming home and facing Chennaiyin, and finally playing away again in Jamshedpur. I believe that we played a very good and tough defensive game. We stayed together, handling many 3v1 situations,” stated Zaragoza in the post-match press conference.

The gaffer was happy to get a point out of the game while playing away.

He added, “Of course, Jamshedpur wanted to win; that’s normal. They (were) playing at home, they wanted to (get the three points). After 1-0, we did not score the second goal, and then they began to send in crosses repeatedly finally they scored. But we can be happy. One point outside home is always good. And the fight (for the top six) continues.”

Suresh Singh scored a spectacular goal for Bengaluru FC and Zaragoza was all praise for the midfielder.

He said, “Amazing goal! We joke with him that he did not score too many goals. I said that this season he will score a minimum of two goals. At the moment he has one. Let’s continue for the second one.”

Bengaluru FC will next take on Mumbai City FC at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday.
