Odisha FC Vs Kerala Blasters Live Score, ISL 2024-25: OFC 2-2 KBFC; Both Teams Miss Chances In Second Half

67' Now Kerala miss. Noah Sadaoui wins a free kick and gives a beautiful long ball right at the right corner of the goalpost. Jesus Jimenez just can not put his header on target and a chance missed.

63' Roy Krishna misses this team. A tough angle for him on the left side of the box and he gets a low shot towards the far end but it rolls past the goal post. Isak Vanlalruatfela threaded the Kerala Blasters defence with an inch perfect pass to Roy Krishna inside the box but the angle is too tough to score.

56' Massive miss. The goalkeeper was beaten and all Isak Vanlalruatfela needed to do was to lob the ball from the centre of the box into the goalpost with just two defenders in sight. But Isak Vanlalruatfela smashes it hard and high above the goalpost. Big chance gone. Isak Vanlalruatfela is livid with himself.

53' A bicycle kick from Jesus Jimenez but unfortunately for him, his raised hand only blocks it. Another nice cross from Noah Sadaoui and Jimenez choses the interesting option of a funky kick but does not come off.

47' Kerala Blasters on the charge and it is the duo of Jesus Jimenez and Noah Sadaoui combining again to create a chance. Jimenez's pass flies to Noah who gets a header but Amrinder Singh saves it with ease. Even though it is a save, Odisha's defence has continued to look totally unorganised today. They really need to up their game in the defence.

Second half begins now. It is 2-2 so far in Bhubaneshwar but if the first half was any indication, the goals would not stop just here. They will keep coming.

It is half-time at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar and as expected we have seen some thrilling football. Both sides pressing high but making mistakes in the defence too.

Kerala Blasters started on the front foot and got two goals within three minutes. Noah Sadaoui (18') and Jesús Jiménez (21') took advantage of Odisha's poor defence to give Kerala Blasters a 2-0 lead. However, a mistake from Blasters' goalkeeper Sachin Suresh handed Odisha their first goal in the 29th minute and soon Diego Mauricio (36') too struck to level scores.

Half-time whistle sounds but not before Odisha FC forced Sachin Suresh to make a desperate save moments before the whistle. Ahmed Jahouh take a free kick from far away but finds M Fall towards the right side of box. Fall smashes a loopy header which Suresh manages to finger over the goalpost with a timely jump.

A few passes after the corner and the half-time is called.

42' That could have been another one for Kerala Blasters but Noah perhaps got a bit too greedy. Odisha defender makes a massive error near the baseline and give a pass straight to Noah who moves inside the box and take a shot to the near post but the shot is saved by Amrinder Singh in the Odisha goal. A pass there could have been better but Noah decided to go on his own and Jiminez is not at all happy with that, he was in a good position to score there. Relief for Odisha.

36' Odisha Level Score!!!

Dieog Mauricio scores and Odisha have levelled. They conceded twice in three minutes and now have scored two times in six minutes. It is a total goal fest in Bhubaneshwar tonight.

Mauricio plays a cute little one-two with Jerry Mawihmingthanga inside the box and then gives a fine touch to nutmeg Sachin Suresh in goal.

29' Odisha Get One Back!!!

An own goal hands Odisha their first goal of the game. It was a corner for Odisha and a lot of players were lurking at the goalmouth. The cross is swinging into the Kerala Blasters goalkeeper Sachin Suresh whose poor collection means the ball takes his arm and then is rebound into the goal through a touch from an incoming Alexandre Coeff.

21' Kerala Blasters Double Lead!!!

Two goals in three minutes and this time it is Jesus Jemenez who strikes and Noah Sadaoui who assists. Brilliant finish from a difficult angle at the near post for Jemenez and Kerala are two-nil up. Tough going for Odisha FC here. The defence looks totally out of place for the hosts. They have been consistently put under pressure with gaps being found easily.

18' Kerala Blasters Score!

Noah Sadaoui finds the net and the pressure put up by the Kerala Blasters finally results in a goal. Jesús Jiménez with the assist. Jiménez got the ball right outside the box in the middle of the pitch. He waited with the ball for just an extra second to give Noah the chance to create some space and when Noah got the ball he gave it a perfect finish, smashing the ball into the top right corner. KBFC take lead.

15' Another good tackle from the Odisha FC's defence, this time from Ahmed Jahouh. They will concede a corner but the scoreline will remain 0-0.

12' A good pass for Diego Mauricio, beating two Blasters defenders but Mauricio takes a bit of extra time with the ball and the press from behind means he can not take the shot. Mauricio wants a corner, referee not impressed with the appeal.

6' Blasters had a chance here. A good pass for Danish through the Odisha defence. Odisha goalkeeper Amrinder Singh came out quick to close down the angle for Danish who just could not take the shot even as he was on a one-one-one situation with the goalie. And eventually the chance goes to waste.

1' Chance for Odisha now. Hugo Boumous passes it to Diego Maurício right in front of the goalkeeper. Mauricio tries to find the net with a backfoot push but the shot goes straight in the hands of S Suresh.

1' Alright then, there is the opening whistle and it is Odisha FC who begin with the ball and lose it just outside their box. A good tackle comes to rescue for Odisha. Relief for Odisha.

Players are out for the national anthem and the action will soon begin. Both teams with one win, both teams starting 11s unchanged from their last matches. A good contest coming up.
