NorthEast United FC and Jamshedpur FC have faced each other 16 times in Indian Super League history. The Highlanders have won four encounters, while the Red Miners have emerged victorious on six occasions. Six matches have ended in draws.

Meanwhile, Chennai is about to witness the legendary players of Brazil라이브 바카라 2002 FIFA World Cup-winning squad in action. Led by all-time great Ronaldinho Gaucho, the Brazil Legends will take on India All Stars, who will be captained by former India skipper IM Vijayan. The exhibition match will kick off at 7pm IST at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. HERE is how you can catch the mouth-watering game live.

Here's how the two teams line up ahead of kick-off in Shillong:

Play gets underway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, with Jamshedpur attacking from right to left and hosts NorthEast United at the other end. The Shillong crowd will no doubt back the Highlanders to the hilt, in their quest for a semi-final berth.

Stephen Eze shrugs off a booking to score in the 29th minute and put Jamshedpur FC ahead. He lets rip from his right foot, from a tight angle, mind you, into the top left corner of the NorthEast United goal. The Red Miners now have the licence to slow things down, while the Highlanders will continue to strive for the equaliser.

NorthEast can't find a leveller after 45 minutes and three added minutes of the first half. Jamshedpur have delivered a professional performance so far, defending well and pouncing on the big chance they had to go 1-0 up. The Highlanders will eye a comeback on the other side.

The mid-game intervale ends and the action resumes in Shillong. Jamshedpur now attacking from left to right and NorthEast United from right to left. The Red Miners have won nine of the last 10 ISL games this season where they had taken the lead, and would look to better that record. For the Highlanders, the time for a rejoinder is now.

The first 15 minutes of the second half have panned out frustratingly for NorthEast United, who have created a number of chances but failed to latch on to any of them. A Macarton Nickson header from the centre of the box flies high in the 59th, and Alaaeddine Ajaraie's left-footer goes wide in the 57th. Jamshedpur holding on, trying to make this a stop-start affair to kill time.

As expected, Jamshedpur are doing all in their power to slow down proceedings with injuries and substitutions. NorthEast United's attempts are growing more desperate by the minute, but an equaliser has eluded them thus far. Five more minutes of regulation time remain. Will there be a twist in the tale?

Jamshedpur are down to 10 men for the nervous final few minutes. Mobashir Rahman is ejected in the 89th minute for violent conduct. Eight minutes of added time ahead, and NorthEast United are frantic in their search for an equaliser.

An utterly chaotic end to this playoff encounter. Javi Hernandez finds the back of the net in the ninth minute of added time to seal the deal for Jamshedpur. His head coach Khalid Jamil erupts into wild celebrations on the sidelines, and his opposite number Juan Pedro Benali appears to take offence. The NorthEast United boss charges towards Jamil and a scuffle breaks out as the support staff gets involved too. Red cards are flashed in both camps, and after a few more customary kicks upon resumption, the final whistle blows. The Red Miners are through to the semi-finals, and the Highlanders' dream stands dashed.

With Jamshedpur FC's 2-0 victory, the semi-finals line-up is now complete. Bengaluru FC will meet FC Goa in a two-legged tie on April 2 and April 6, while the Red Miners will take on Mohun Bagan on April 3 and 7. The finale will be played on April 12.
