Odisha FC vs Hyderabad FC Live Score - ISL 2020 Live Score & Commentary

FULL TIME: Odisha FC 0-1 Hyderabad FC

Absolutely a game with one way traffic written all over it. It was Hyderabad FC all the way from minute one of the game. The Nizams had the lion's share of the ball, more chances on goal and overall dominance on the pitch. The likes of Aridane Santana, Lluis Sastre, Odei Onaindia, Joao Victor and Liston Colaco were excellent. The lack of quality in the midfield on part of Odisha FC was very visible and allowed Hyderabad FC to dictate the terms of the game. The game may have ended up 1-0 with an Aridane Santana penalty but the game was no way close with Odisha FC falling way behind.

This is your host, Sayak Dipta Dey, signing off for tonight. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for all the comprehensive coverage of the Indian Super League.

90+5' Aridane Santana is the 'Hero of the Match'.

Additional Time: 5 Minutes

90' Substitution for Hyderabad FC

OUT - Hitesh Sharma (18)
IN - Adil Khan (5)

90' Substitution for Hyderabad FC

OUT - Halicharan Narzary (19)
IN - Sahil Panwar (32)

89' Steven Taylor is caught napping on the ball. After Liston Colaco, the former Newcastle United fails to keep Holicharan Narzary at the bay as the Assamese lad shoots inches wide of the target from inside the box.

88' Diego Mauricio shoots from distance, saved.

87' Liston Colaco goes for goal from distance, is wide. The youngster has been very hardworking and intensive in his approach so far.

85' Odisha FC have looked absolutely clueless and out of sync today. Seems to be early season blues but does not change the fact that Stuart Baxter needs a lot of work to do. On the contrary, Hyderabad FC have looked like a well-oiled machine from the start.

84' Aridane Santana is booked for a tripping Samuel Lalmuanpuia.

82' Subham Sarangi booked for a late and rash challenge on Holicharan Narzary. The youngster could have been sent off for his poor challenge on Holicharan Narzary but the referee seems to be lenient in his approach today.

80' Saurabh Meher goes into the referee's book after he brings down Liston Colaco.

77' Hyderabad FC swing in a corner and Aridane Santana meets the ball with his head again with his high jump but the header lacks direction and goes over the target.

76' Substitution for Hyderabad FC.

OUT - Nikhil Poojary (27)
IN - Laldanmawia Ralte (17)

75' We have the official drinks break of the second-half.

73' Odisha FC simply do not seem to possess the quality in the midfield in the game today to turn the game. The likes of Cole Alexander who is still unfit for game time is clearly visible. A plethora of youth in the midfield is not enough to trump the quality of the other ISL teams.

71' A very patchy second-half so far. The first-half was all about Hyderabad FC piling on the pressure on Odisha FC and looking to score goals, with Odisha FC sitting down and defending. Odisha FC required to play the opposite way in the second-half but the excellence and resilience in the Hyderabad FC midfield and defence has never allowed the Odisha FC midfield and attack to establish a chain of demand and supply.

70' Hendry Antonay is booked for a late challenge on Asish Rai.

67' MISS! Liston Colaco shows his pace and skills on the ball as he races past a couple of Odisha FC defenders and goes for goal with Steven Taylor upon his position. His shot is inches wide of the goal.

66' Thoiba Singh is replaced by Samuel Lalmuanpuia for Odisha FC.

OUT - Thoiba Singh (2)
IN - Samuel Lalmuanpuia (9)

63' Aridane Santana heads the ball into the net from a floated free-kick but the goal is flagged offside.

62' Substitution for Hyderabad FC.

OUT - Mohammed Yasir (10)
IN - Liston Colaco (12)

60' Gaurav Bora goes into the book for a late challenge on Asish Rai.

58' An attempt at goal for Odisha FC as Diego Mauricio and Manuel Onwu combine together to pull off the final shot. However, the presence of Odei Onaindia and Joao Victor at the back outclasses the Odisha FC strikers, allowing Subrata Paul to make a relatively comfortable save from a low angle.

53' Substitution for Odisha FC by Stuart Baxter. Lack of movement and control in the midfield by the Brazilian forces Odisha FC to relegate him to the bench.

OUT - Marcelinho (10)
IN - Laishram Singh (28)

50' Odisha FC piling up pressure on Hyderabad FC by pushing bodies up the field by Hyderabad FC seem to have a tactical setup in place to keep the ball away from Odisha FC.

47' Nandhakumar is through on goal after Joao Victor switches off on the ball but a last ditched tackle from behind by Akash Mishra inside the box saves Hyderabad FC from a scare.

46' Second-half kicks-off.

HALF TIME: Odisha FC 0-1 Hyderabad FC

It was Hyderabad FC all the way in terms of dictating the terms of play as the Nizams had the lion's share of possession and better chances on goal. Their constant pressure on Odisha FC awarded them a penalty which was successfully converted by Aridane Santana from the spot. Odisha FC did get some chances of their own but was never enough.

Can Odisha FC change the tide in the second half? Stay tuned to Sportskeeda to find out.

45+3' Odisha FC have two quick good chances. Diego Mauricio goes for goal after being laid up by Marcelinho but a late challenge by Ona Oneindia bails out Hyderabad FC. The ricochet falls to Marcelinho who floats in a ball to Steven Taylor on the box whose header is way off target. A good period of play to end the first half.

Additional Time: 4 Minutes

44' MISS! Aridane Santana bends one shot from distance, forcing Arshdeep Singh to make a full drawn save to his left to deny the Spaniard. Hyderabad FC have yet another corner.

42' Odisha have a corner swung in but to of no use. The man-marking in the Hyderabad FC box is too stringent for Odisha FC to break through just yet.

40' Marcelinho swings in a free-kick into the crowd of players inside the Hyderabad FC box. The first ball is headed away by Joao Victor but the resultant ball is headed toward the goal by Manuel Onwu which ends up straight into the lands of Subrata Paul.

38' Lluis Sastre has been excellent in the game so far. The Spaniard has been a midfield lynchpin for Hyderabad FC in the first half. He has been laying off the wingers down the two sides and setting up Santana on several occasions with quick through balls.

35' GOAL! Aridane Santana steps up to take the spot-kick as he bangs it to the middle of the net as Arshdeep Singh dives to the other way.

34' PENALTY! Hyderabad have a glorious chance to take the lead as they have been awarded a penalty. Steven Taylor goes into the book as the guilty party for handling the ball inside the box while going for the sliding challenge as he attempted to block a shot from Halicharan Narzary.

31' Time for the cooling break now. HFC have been the better side so far in this game but have nothing to show for it.

27' Odisha FC have a move of their own after soaking up pressure for almost half an hour. A couple of long-throw balls from the sideline into the crowd of two teams in the Odisha FC box yields up no useful results.

25' A brilliantly picked up cross from Asish Rai towards Aridane Santana but the Spaniard fails to make the most of it as the tall Englishman Steven Taylor puts it off for Santana in air.

22' It is all one-way traffic in terms of movement of play. Hyderabad FC have been dominating in terms of possession in the Odisha FC half of play but a resolute and disciplined Odisha FC defence led by Steven Taylor and Gaurav Bora have kept the Hyderbad FC attack on the bay.

19' A spell of pressure goes to waste as a cross-field ball is played towards Nandhakumar Sekar but the ball has too much on it and it floats out of play.

16' Hyderabad keep raking up earning corners from excellent wing play but the Odisha FC defence has been solid in its approach.

12' The momentum in play is with Hyderabad FC here as Odisha FC are sitting back and soaking in all the pressure being piled up by Hyderabad FC. Nikhil Poojary cuts inside the box from the right and has an attempt on goal but goes well wide.

10' Yet another corner for Hyderabad FC but this time the attempt on goal is nowhere near the target as the final ball towards Mohammed Yasir is scuffed out for a goal-kick.

8' SAVE! Early signs of pressure play from Hyderabad FC. Hyderabad FC earn the second corner of the game. The corner is taken short and lands up with youngster Akash Mishra who goes for goal from distance, forcing Arshdeep Singh to make a diving save. The ball movement from Hyderabad FC has been excellent so far.

6' MISS! Hyderabad FC earn the first corner of the game after a cross from the wings is cleared away for a corner by Gaurav Bora yet again. The corner finds a rising Aridane Santana on the other end of the box whose header misses the target by inches. Had the header been on target, it would have been a clear goal as Arshdeep Singh was routed to his spot, ball-watching.

4' A long throw from the sidelines for Hyderabad FC into the Odisha FC box is cleared away.

2' Nikhil Poojary swings in a cross from the right towards Aridane Santana but Gaurav Bora is on the way to clear it away to safety.
