Despite being down a man due to a sending off, the club managed to hold on for a 0–0 draw.[5] The club then played their first match at home on 1 December against ATK, which turned out to be another 0–0 draw.[6] Throughout the season, scoring goals was a problem for Jamshedpur, with Coppell stating at the halfway mark of the campaign that scoring goals was "a big priority for us".[7] Despite that, Jamshedpur would go on to end the season in fifth, one place below a finals spot, with only 16 goals scored, tied second-lowest in the league in that category.[8]
