# Jamshedpur FC thrash Air Force 6-0, keep Durand Cup hopes alive 2026-08-13T11:43:06+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Jamshedpur FC kept its Durand Cup 2026 quarterfinal hopes alive with a 6-0 demolition of Indian Air Force at Birsa Munda Stadium in Ranchi on Thursday. Substitute Lawmsangzuala 'Mama' scored a hat-trick, while winger Aman CK provided several assists. The win lifted Jamshedpur to second among the best second-placed teams, behind East Bengal. Their fate now rests on the result of the Shillong Lajong vs Langsning match later in the day. If Lajong draws or wins, Jamshedpur advances. Separately, Bodoland FC beat Karbi Anglong Morning Star 6-0 but missed the quarterfinals on goal difference. The match began with sombre overtones as Jamshedpur FC faced possible closure after the club announced it would skip the upcoming ISL season due to financial issues. However, the team produced a dominant performance to stay alive in the competition for now. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com - sportstar.thehindu.com Tags: Durand Cup, football, Indian Air Force, Indian Super League, Jamshedpur FC Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jamshedpur-fc-takes-on-indian-air-force-in-likely-last-match/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
