The Socceroos legend Tim Cahill broke his drought with a maiden goal in the Indian Super League, against Kerala Blasters on Monday night.
In his fourth appearance for his new club, Cahill found the back of the net during Jamshedpur’s 2-2 home draw with Kerala Blasters. The strike was reminiscent of the olden days, as the 38-year-old Australian surged into the box before striking it into the back of the net with a quick header.
