Mizoram Defender's Brace Sinks Jamshedpur FC in Quarterfinals

On August 18th, 2025, Jamshedpur FC's first match since their head coach Khalid Jamil left the club to take charge of the Indian national team ended in a shock as Durand Cup debutants Diamond Harbour FC knocked them out in the quarterfinals.

Playing at the JRD Tata Complex, the team from West Bengal rode the brace of unlikely hero Sairuat Kima, who hails from Mizoram, to register the biggest shock of the tournament and stun the hosts 2-0 in front of a raucous crowd. Kima opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, and then doubled Diamond Harbour's advantage in the 41st minute with a clinical volley.

Despite a spirited second-half performance from Jamshedpur FC under interim coach Steven Dias, they were unable to find the back of the net. Diamond Harbour's goalkeeper Mirshad Michu made a superb double save to preserve the two-goal cushion, and the Kibu Vicuna-coached side held on for one of their greatest wins.
