Odisha FC bounced again with a second-half brace courtesy of Roy Krishna to defeat Kerala Blasters 2-1 and safe three factors on the Kalinga Stadium right here within the Indian Tremendous League (ISL) 2023-24 on February 2.
Dimitrios Diamantakos bagged his tenth strike of the season by tapping in a cross by Nihal Sudeesh.
Within the 53rd minute, Moroccan midfielder Ahmed Jahouh delivered a curling, correct cross to the Fijian who was stationed merely a couple of yards away from Sachin.
He outmanoeuvred the Kerala Blasters defence to place the ball previous the goalkeeper.
Odisha had discovered the breakthrough and started pushing ahead, because the opposition’s defence had change into barely disoriented by then.
Fullback Amey Ranawade sensed the same alternative, sprinting up forward on the suitable flank, earlier than sliding in a well-directed go for Krishna.
The striker jumped and nodded the ball in, successfully eliminating the early benefit that Kerala Blasters had garnered.
The consequence:
Odisha FC 2 (Roy Krishna 53, 57) bt Kerala Blasters FC 1 (Dimitrios Diamantakos 11).
