69' GOALLLLL!!! CFC find the equalizer! Nerijus Valskis it is. A well-deserved one as they were knocking on the door after going down. A cross from the left finds Nerijus Valskis free inside the box. He heads it powerfully into the bottom corner and past the keeper.
64' Super block! That is an outstanding block! Jerry Mawihmingthanga is laid off by Jonathas Cristian on the right, he looks to take a first time shot but Slavko Damjanovic slides and makes a crucial block.
57' Over! Poor from CFC yet again! They struggle to clear their lines in their own box and then end up lobbing one towards Jonathas Cristian inside the box. He looks to chip the keeper with his header but it goes over. OFC make a change as well. Redeem Tlang comes off and Jerry Mawihmingthanga replaces him.
51' GOALLLL!!! That has finally gone in! Jonathas Cristian gives his side the lead after missing a golden chance earlier on. That is poor defending too, a cross in the box finds a CFC defender who fails to clear his line. Thoiba Singh wins it inside the CFC box and then crosses it towards the far post from the byline. Jonathas Cristian heads it towards goal but it is saved but not out of danger as it is just in front of goal. There are a couple of CFC defenders there who try to clear but only hit it as far as a OFC. He takes a shot but it is blocked, it then falls to Jonathas Cristian who smashes it in. OFC get the early lead.
50' What a save that is! Jonathas Cristian is set free into the box. He is one on one with the keeper and also has Javier Hernandez to his right but he looks to slide it past the keeper who sticks his left leg out and makes a superb save. He should have scored there. A corner for OFC!
49' Over! Narayan Das takes a shot from a narrow angle but he strikes it over the goal. He could have crossed it in but instead went for glory which was not the right idea.
46' Second half! The second essay is underway! It is CFC who begin things.
HALF TIME: Odisha FC 1-1 Chennaiyin FC

39' Wide! The cross finds Jonathas Cristian who leaps the highest and heads it but heads it wide. No goal.

Debjit Majumder dives to his right but the ball goes above him and into the net.
12' Straight to the keeperAridai Suarez from the left flank dribbles past one of the CFC defenders and has a go from the edge of the box. He aims at the near post but there wasn't enough power on that one and Debjit Majumder made an easy save moving to his right.
