The final clash of the Indian Super League’s matchday 9 saw the two lowest-placed clubs go head-to-head. 10th-placed SC East Bengal, who had drawn their last two matches but let a win slip away in stoppage-time in one of them, faced Odisha FC, who had also come away with a point from their last clash. The only two winless sides of the season were set to battle, so this was certainly going to be a very interesting fixture: Report East Bengal started off brightly and even took the lead in the 12th minute when Raju Gaikwad’s long throw evaded everyone in the box and reached Anthony Pilkington, who headed home from close proximity. pic.twitter.com/PunQuwySdB — 🇮🇳Surjya Kundu🚩 (@KunduSurjya) January 3, 2021 Odisha came close to equalising four minutes later when Manuel O...

The second clash of the Indian Super League’s matchday 8 was quite an interesting one, as bottom-club Odisha FC faced NorthEast United, who were 4th in the table. Stuart Baxter’s men were still searching for their first win of the season and had lost each of their last four matches, and NorthEast weren’t too happy going into the match either having seen their unbeaten run come to an end last time out against Jamshedpur FC. A tasty fixture was set to ensue, and here’s what we made of it: Report NorthEast United came extremely close to opening the scoring when Kwesi Appiah brilliantly controlled a long ball from Federico Gallego and got there before the defender to fire a shot, but it was saved by the rushing Arshdeep Singh. Eight minutes later at the other end, a free-kick caused all sorts ...
The Indian Super League’s seventh matchday kicked off with an intriguing clash between 10th-placed Odisha FC and 4th-placed Bengaluru FC. Stuart Baxter’s side were still searching for their first win of the season and they only had a point in the bag, while the Blues had maintained their unbeaten record. An important clash was set to take place, and here’s what we made of it: Report Benagluru FC had a good chance to score early on when Erik Paartalu’s deflected cross reached Kristian Opseth at the edge of the six-yard box, but he shinned it well wide. Then, Paartalu himself had a look in the fifth minute when he let fly from a fair distance but just missed it. The Blues continued to look good and had another presentable opportunity in the 7th minute when the ball broke for Dimas Delga...
