4' First goal for Odisha FC!!!
First shot of the night and we have the first goal of the night. Hugo Boumous opens Odisha's account from very close to the goalmouth and Mohun Bagan goalkeeper Vishal Kaith has not chance. Ahmed Jahouh gets the assist and Odisha are up and running. The crowd is loving it. A backpass to Kaith gave Odisha a free kick from outside the six-yard box and Boumous gets the goal.
9' Two good saves from Odisha goalkeeper Amrinder Singh to deny Mohun Bagan. First one is a shot Petratos which Singh pushes out of bounds to hand the Mariners a corner. And the corner delivery in the six-yard box is yet again pushed away by Singh. Good work from Odisha goalkeeper.
18' A brilliant long ball for Roy Krishna who has the chance to double Odisha FC's lead. All he needs to do is beat Vishal Kaith in Mohun Bagan's goalpost but Kaith is alert. Kaith comes out at the right time ensuring Roy Krishna gets no space and his shot is blocked by Kaith.
26' Liston Colaco with a shot for Mohun Bagan but straight into the lap of Amrinder Singh in Odisha's goalpost. Liston finds the ball outside the box. A few touches sideways and he thinks he has space but smashes that shot straight to Amrinder.
34' Mohun Bagan dominating the possession so far but the scoreline has Odisha FC ahead. The Mariners will need to convert the possession into goals as well. They are consistently getting corners and here we have another one.
36' First goal for Mohun Bagan!!!
What a header from Manvir. Good delivery from Petratos. Towards the near post, swinging away and Manvir gets a good amount of head on that one and Amrinder Singh has no chance on the near post. Another set piece goal for Mohun Bagan.
45+1' Another corner for Mohun Bagan, their seventh of the night. And the delivery on the far post is pushed away by a leaping Amrinder Singh. No damage done. We are in the three minutes of added time now.
Half-time whistle!!!
Both sides have scored once each so far and both times we had goals coming from set pieces. Mohun Bagan have kept the ball for more time and Odisha have relied on counters but the score is tied 1-1. Stay tuned. We will be back for a thrilliing second half.
Second half begins. Players are out on the field and we are readdy for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
54' Good save and collection from Vishal Kaith. Vanlalruatfela comes up with a shot after receving a brilliant cross on the left side of the box. He takes his time to find the gap but his shot is blocked by Kaith.
67' Missed chance for Mohun Bagan. A brilliant pass from Manvir from the right side of the box to Petratos whose shot is blocked by Amrinder Singh, the Odisha goalkeeper. Petratos shot could have been better placed there. The Mariners miss a big chance to go ahead.
73' Vishal Kaith makes a good save on his knees and then is up in time to push the rebound away. Odisha FC have been denied and Kaith stands tall. Big chance for Odisha. A lot of people in the box made it a bit chaotic but Kaith ensuring that the second goal does not come for the opponents. Good goalkeeping.
80' Brilliant collection from Vishal Kaith. He has been really good in the Mohun Bagan goalpost tonight. A through ball from long distance pushed into the box and Roy Krisna made a superb run to the ball, got a touch and was in a one-on-one situation with Kaith. But Kaith stretches his left hand to steal the ball from under Roy Krishna's foot. Odisha are making attacks and Mohun Bagan have looked flat this half.
90' Somewhat slow second half, contrary to expecations. Odisha have been the better side but have not been able to get that second goal.
Deepak meanwhile takes a shot from long range but it goes over the goalpost. Six minutes of added time.
90+3' Ashish Rai booked with a yellow card for a bad foul. Free kick coming up from an interesting spot.
A delivery into the box but nothing comes out of it. Mohun Bagan fans can breath easy.
Full-time whistle!!! Mohun Bagan and Odisha FC settle for a draw.
Both sides share spoils and you can say it is a result both teams deserved tonight. The game had a strong first half and then a little slow in the second half with none of the sides trying to get adventurous. Ultimately it ends 1-1.
A nice end for the ISL before we head for the international break. Hugo Boumous took Odisha FC ahead in just the fourth minute of the match but his goal was cancelled out by Mohun Bagan's Manvir Singh who found a brilliant header to level score. After that, Mohun Bagan were the dominating side in the first half and Odisha FC looked better in the second. However, the score remained the same till full-time.
No change in the standings after this 1-1 draw. Mohun Bagan continue to be on the second spot. Their three-match winning run has been ended with this draw. Odisha too are at the ninth spot. This is their third draw in last five matches. They now have two wins, three draws and three losses.
We will take your leave now. ISL action will now return on Sunday, November 23 as teams head for the international break. Thank you so much for following our coverage tonight. Good night1
