SC East Bengal kick-started the new year on a bright note as they saw off Odisha FC 3-1 to bag their first win in the Indian Super League at the GMC Stadium, Bambolim. First-half goals from Anthony Pilkington (12') and Jacques Maghoma (39') put SCEB ahead before substitute Bright Enobakhare (88'), making his ISL debut, joined the party late on. Diego Mauricio (90') scored the 100th goal of the ISL season but it proved to be a consolation as Odisha saw their winless run continue.
