The Indian Super League between Odisha FC and Jamshedpur FC will kick off at 5:00pm IST, and can be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website in India. It will be live telecast on the Sports18 network in India.

We are just about 50 minutes away from kick-off at the Kalinga Stadium on this super Saturday, and both teams seem full of smiles. However, who which team will be smiling at the end of the first game in our double header? It should be a cracking contest.

Odisha have not had that impressive start they would have hoped for in the first few games, however, Sergio Lobera has placed trust on his players, and here's how they lined-up at the Kalinga

After their impressive showing against both Goa and Mumbai, Khalid Jamil has just made one change, and here is how Jamshedpur look against Odisha away from home

The warm-ups are done, the players, and officials are almost ready. We are just five minutes away from kick-off at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar on a super Saturday. So India, let's football?

Jamshedpur are off to a very good start, and have a shot on target, in the fourth minute of the game. However, Pratik Chaudhari's shot is saved by Amrinder Singh. By the looks of the first few minutes, it should be an exciting game.

Odisha seem refreshed and are showing a lot of attacking intent. This time around, it is the Jamshedpur goalkeeper Albino Gomes, who makes a straightforward save. An ambitious effort from Isak Vanlalruatfela, but results in nothing.

And the Odisha momentum has now been converted into a goal!! 1-0!! A left-footed strike from Diego Mauricio from the left. finds the bottom right corner and Kalinga Stadium is on its feet. Hugo Boumous is all smiles, and so is Sergio Lobera.

This is brilliant from Odisha as they continue to dominate the game, and have had over 80% of possession so far. A bit of concern on Khalid Jamil's face, and maybe expect him to make a few changes at the break. However, Lobera seems to be a happy man with seven minutes to go before the half-time whistle.

Gooooaaal!! 2-0 Odisha!! A towering header from Mourtada Sergine Fall after a perfect corner from Hugo Boumous sees the hosts double their lead just before half-time, and what a game the 27-year-old from France is having! Jamshedpur continue to look for answers, and have all the catching up to do.

After the first 45 minutes, Odisha FC 2-0 Jamshedpur FC

We are almost ready to get underway with the second half. The hosts are the happier side after the first half. However, don't write off Jamil's men just yet. We have seen turnarounds before, and if they manage to score in the first 10 minutes of the second 45, you just never know.

Expectedly, he makes two changes as Aniket Jadhav and Mobashir Rahman come in for Sourav Das and Seiminlen Doungel.

Odisha now have 16 shots, with five on target in 55 minutes. And they look like they could score with every attack. This is been really impressive for a team who were looking to register their first win. However, there's more than 30 minutes for Jamshedpur to launch a fightback.

Jamshedpur get one back, and we have a match on our hands with 30 minutes to go! Sergine Fall has now scored at both ends of the pitch. pull Mobashir's brilliant cross tricks Odisha's defence leading to an own goal and the deficit has been reduced to half.

Jamshedpur are going for the kill as they make a few more changes with Rei Tachikawa and Mohammed Sanan coming in for Javier Siverio and Imran Khan. While on the other hand, Odisha bring Rahim Ali for Jerry Mawihmingthanga.

And they have finally done it!! Odisha FC register their first points of the Indian Super League 2024-25 campaign and it has come against an in-form Jamshedpur FC. Sergio Lobera showcased trust in his players and they have paid him off. All smiles at the Kalinga!

Thank you so much for joining us! We will see you soon, and until next time, take care and goodbye!
