Odisha FC and FC Goa Share Points in Kalinga Stadium Thriller

Bhubaneswar: In a thrilling encounter at Kalinga Stadium, Odisha FC played to a 1-1 draw against FC Goa on Friday evening, maintaining their position at the top of the ISL table. Despite the draw, Odisha FC holds a strong position with 31 points from 15 matches, leading the league.

The early moments of the match saw the prolific Roy Krishna from Odisha FC opening the scoring just three minutes into the game. Amey’s precise low cross found Krishna inside the box, allowing the Fijian striker to confidently slot the ball into the goal.

However, FC Goa responded with determination, and Jay Gupta managed to find the equalizer in the 37th minute, leveling the score at 1-1.

Despite Odisha FC’s dominance in the proceedings, they couldn’t secure the winning goal in the second half. The draw keeps Odisha FC three points ahead of FC Goa, despite having played three more matches.
