FULL TIME: Odisha FC 6-4 SC East Bengal

Added Time: 4 Minutes.

90' OFC add another one and that should FINALLY be the game for Odisha FC! It looked like SCEB could find another goal and level things but Aridai Suarez has other plans and puts this game to bed. The ball is in the right flank and a low cross is drilled into the middle of the SCEB box. Jonathas Cristian backheels this one towards Aridai Suarez, who is waiting there and his first time attempt beats the keeper. The scoreline now reads 6-4!

90' Daniel Chukwu scores and the scoreline now reads 5-4! He keeps his cool and slots it home as the keeper dives in the wrong direction. The ball kisses the post and goes into the back of the net. Can SCEB score one more? We are into the extra time and there are around 4 more minutes left.

90' More drama. A penalty now for SCEB and this is another chance for them to narrow down the deficit. A long ball is played towards the middle of the box and it's headed out to the right side. Daniel Chukwu attempts to get to the ball but Gaurav Bora intercepts and tries to clear the ball with his header. However, Bora only manages to head Chukwu instead. The referee sees it and points to the spot.

90' What a game this is turning out to be! 8 goals in total and we still have a few minutes to go. The corner from the left flank is whipped towards the far post and Daniel Chukwu chests this down and drills his effort past the keeper to snatch a goal for SCEB!

88' SCEB have a free-kick just outside the box and they have handed Naorem Singh the responsibility of taking this. His left foot attempt has too much height and the ball floats out for a goal kick.

87' Bikash Jairu is standing over this corner, from the left flank, but his delivery is very poor and does not even clear the OFC defender at the near post, who clears the ball out easily.

82' What a bullet strike and OFC notch up 5 in this game! Isaac Chhakchhuak has the ball outside the SCEB box and he moves it on to Isak Vanlalruatfela at the edge of the box. Isak Vanlalruatfela takes a touch and moves inside the box, looks up, rifles a shot past the keeper, Suvam Sen, to end any hopes for a SCEB comeback.

80' SCEB get one back. This is a really good header and the deficit is now halved. Mohammad Rafique has the ball near the left flank and he looks up and serves a wonderful cross into the middle. Thongkhosiem Haokip leaps and connects well with his header to beat the keeper. 10 more minutes left in this game.

79' Raju Gaikwad scores but the ball went out of play before Tomislav Mrcela made the pass in and the goal has been disallowed. A free kick is whipped towards the far post and all the players miss it. Tomislav Mrcela chases after it and passes the ball into the middle, where Raju Gaikwad scores. But replays show that the ball had gone out of play before Tomislav could pass it on.

77' Jerry Mawihmingthanga has been buzzing for OFC in this game but he is done for the evening and is being replaced by Isaac Chhakchhuak.

72' SCEB make two more changes. Adil Khan and Thongkhosiem Haokip come in for Joyner Lourenco and Antonio Perosevic respectively.

71' Aridai Suarez, you beauty. What a stunning, stunning goal and that should seal the game in favour of Odisha FC as they are up comfortably by 4-1! The Spaniard is standing over this dead ball just outside the box, near the left flank. He has a look at goal, steps up, whips it delightfully over the wall and into the back of the net, beating Suvam Sen to his right. Brilliant!

69' A tackle just a few yards away from the penalty box. SCEB are just making things worse for themselves. Isak Vanlalruatfela had the ball and he was put down by Bikash Jairu. A chance for OFC to make it four!

67' A good throw-in by Raju Gaikwad. He has thrown that from the right, near the byline, right inside the penalty box. Tomislav Mrcela jumps and goes for the header, but heads that wide of the goal.

65' Tha's another foul by SCEB, and another free-kick awarded to OFC. Raju Gaikwad with an unnecessary push to the player in front of him who was trying to get away.

64' OFC are enjoying the game in the middle. Keeping the ball with them safely, trying hard for that fourth goal. SCEB are getting a little frustrated here.

61' That's a yellow card for Hira Mondal. Jerry Mawihmingthanga tries to break free but Hira Mondal puts his leg in the middle and hits Jerry on the shin. A free-kick is awarded to OFC in a dangerous position on the right side of the pitch

59' SCEB are looking to cut the deficit down and they make three changes on this occasion. Franjo Prce, goal-scorer Darren Sidoel, and Amir Dervisevic make way for Tomislav Mrcela, Daniel Chukwu, and Amarjit Kiyam.

56' OFC lose the ball in a really poor position and the ball is passed to Antonio Perosevic way outside the box who decides to unleash a strike towards the goal but Hector Ramirez senses the danger and steps out and blocks the attempt well. There was a SCEB player making a run near the left flank and he had acres of space ahead of him, Antonio Perosevic should have looked to move the ball to him.

54' OFC clear a corner and have a counter-attacking chance. Aridai Suarez has the ball near the halfway line, he cuts inwards and releases a pass to the onrushing Nandhakumar Sekar, but the pass has too much power on it and one of the SCEB defenders clears the ball away.

52' Aridai Suarez has the ball in the left flank and he goes past a couple of challenges to get inside. But, he tries to dribble past a player too many and ends up losing the ball.

51' Both teams are building up slowly in the midfield and are looking to stitch together a move, but are failing to find the final pass.

46' Second-half kicks-off. OFC, have decided to make a triple change at the HT break. Thoiba Singh, Javier Hernandez, and Victor Mongil are done for the night and Gaurav Bora, Aridai Suarez, and Jonathas Cristian replace them.

HALF TIME: Odisha FC 3-1 SC East Bengal

45' Added Time: 3 Minutes

45' Make it 3-1 in favour of OFC! Javier Hernandez is on fire. He is impressing one and all with his quality. Yet another corner is won by Odisha FC and Javier stands up to take it on the right side. He unfurls a great inswinger, targets the far post and nails it at the back of the net. Very poor defending by SCEB. They will now have to play catch up.

43' Isak Vanlalruatfela has the ball at his feet and he delivers a perfect ball to the right side for Javier Hernandez who runs inside the box but fails to keep his shot on target. The SCEB defense is looking in complete disarray.

40' Yet another set-piece and yet another goal. OFC have come from behind to lead the game now. Once again the pair of Javier Hernandez and Hector Ramirez caused a nuisance in the SCEB defense. Javier Hernandez takes the corner from the left side, he serves in a lovely loopy ball, Raju Gaikwad is trying to mark Hector Ramirez but Ramirez is too strong to hold back and his header has handed Odisha FC the lead in the match.

34' It seems like an injury for Nandhakumar Sekar and he has been replaced by Isak Vanlalruatfela.

33' Odisha FC have found the equalizer and this match is back on level terms. This goal is all about a perfect free kick taken by Javier Hernandez. Superb delivery, top quality. It's swung in towards the far post, Hector Ramirez is left unmarked and he has a free header. A quality finish from him as he beats the goalkeeper with ease. The SCEB defense was missing there and their marking game will be questioned later on.

34' It seems like an injury for Nandhakumar Sekar and he has been replaced by Isak Vanlalruatfela.

27' OFC and SCEB have both shown positive intent in this game. They have not given it easy. OFC are trying to come stronger after the goal.

23' Brilliant play in middle by OFC! That is the first real chance they have created. A perfect ball was given from the right ahead in the attacking half. Jerry Mawihmingthanga runs ahead with the ball and gives it perfectly to Nandhakumar Sekar on the left in the box. Nandhakumar Sekar's first touch is too heavy and his shot is off target.

20' A brilliant pass by Antonio Perosevic to Bikash Jairuwho was running on left-flank. Bikash Jairu makes a mess of that and can't cross inside the box.

19' Both sides can't get the ball through. Sloppy work in the middle is resulting in giving the ball away too easily.

17' Brilliant defending by OFC! Though the ball has been given cheaply to SCEB, they cannot find an opening to give the ball through on the right-flank of SCEB's attacking half.

13' SCEB have opened their account. What a finish from Darren Sidoel! Stunning strike from Darren Sidoel.

11' Nandhakumar Sekar and Antonio Perosevic contest for the ball, in the middle of the park, and they both collide before going down. It's more of a mistake from Sekar and a free kick is handed to SCEB.

9' The ball finds itself in the left flank and Lalruatthara tries to run away with it. But Joyner Lourenco makes a neat tackle and Lalruatthara ends up pushing down Lourenco.

4' Bikash Jairu and Hira Mondal combine on the left side of the field and try to build a move. The ball is served inside the box but it's cleared out for a throw-in. Yet another move develops, this time Darren Sidoel has the ball as he takes it near the byline before crossing it inside the box but once again OFC stand tall in defense and the move flops.

2' OFC try to build a move in the right flank and a pass is played forward. Hira Mondal though realizes early and slides to kick it out of play.
