Odisha defeat Mohun Bagan 2-1 in the first leg played at the Kalinga Stadium.
Manvir Singh nodded home a Dimitri Petratos corner to put Mohun Bagan ahead. But the early lead seemed to infuse complacency in the visitor’s ranks and allowed the host to claw back into the game.
Goals from Carlos Delgado and Roy Krishna gave the home side the win.
Both teams went down to 10 men midway through the second half as Mohun Bagan forward Armando Sadiku and Odisha defender Delgado were ejected after their second bookings of the match.
Mohun Bagan tried to make a comeback after containing the barrage of attacks from the host but its efforts did not pay off as Odisha’s defence stood firm to deny it any further chance of finding the equaliser.

Contrary to what the scoreline suggests, it was an end-to-end encounter that produced ample opportunities for either side to break the deadlock.
A total of nine shots were taken out of which six were on target, combined for both teams, with Isak Ralte and Albanian striker Armando Sadiku leading the charge for their respective teams.

A brace each from Ahmed Jahouh and Armando Sadiku helped an injury-riddled Mohun Bagan Super Giant earn a point at home against Odisha FC.
The visitor found the goal near the half-hour mark when the Mohun Bagan defender Subhasish Bose handled the ball inside his box while trying to block a header from the Odisha midfielder Puitea. Jahouh made no mistake from the spot to put the visitor one up.
Jahouh found the net for the second time as he won a ball from the Mohun Bagan midfielder Sahal Abdul Samad, and went on to score himself after his teammate upfront Diego Mauricio set up a nice cross.
Armando Sadiku who had two big misses in the opening half, found his form this time as he flicked home an assist from Kiyan Nassiri to get the host back in the action. He found the equaliser in injury time (90+4 minutes) to save a point.
Mohun Bagan coach Ferrando and the Odisha FC forward Mauricio were shown red cards by the referee for getting involved in an altercation.
