Odisha FC threatened to get back on level terms after they were a goal down in the second half. They replaced a central midfielder, Paul Ramfangzauva, with a left-winger Nandhakumar Sekar to provide more width. However, the team couldn’t score more goals.
Odisha FC’s stand-in captain Cole Alexander handled the ball inside the box and, the referee pointed towards the penalty spot. Roy Krishna stepped up and thundered the ball into the net.
ATK Mohun Bagan’s third goal drew the curtains on Odisha FC’s hopes of a comeback. The Mariners continued playing with the same vigor while the confidence of Odisha FC players dropped. Roy Krishna punished them by scoring another late goal in the match.
Paul Ramfangzauva is a special player: Gerald Peyton
Paul Ramfangzauva played his second ISL match this season and produced a scintillating performance. His effort in the first half struck the woodwork, and Cole Alexander pounced on the rebound to slot the ball home. Heaping praises on the youngster, Gerald said:
Odisha FC will next face Kerala Blasters FC in the 2020-21 season of the Indian Super League. They defeated their upcoming opponents 4-2 in the last encounter, and will hope for the same result again.
