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.
