Winger Esmael Goncalves further extended Chennaiyin FC’s to 2-0, scoring from a penalty following a foul on Lallianzuala Chhangte in the box.
Nerijus Valskis pulled one back for Jamshedpur in the first half but it wasn’t enough for a comeback.
This win puts Chennaiyin FC top of the league whilst Jamshedpur sit 8th.
