Mohun Bagan vs Odisha FC highlights, MBSG 2-2 OFC, ISL 2023-24: Sadiku brace earns point for Mariners; Ferrando, Mauricio see red for post-match tussle

Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach Juan Ferrando and Odisha FC forward Diego Mauricio shown red cards after the full-time whistle for unsportsmanlike conduct.

It is an ugly end after such a lovely contest.

A tussle has broken out between both teams post the full-time whistle. Juan Ferrando started it with his very public remonstration. It seems like the referee will take some action here. Odisha FC head coach Sergio Lobera also involved in the altercation, along with Diego Mauricio. 

Armando Sadiku’s second-half brace earns Mohun Bagan a point as the Mariners keeps their unbeaten run alive with a 2-2 draw against Odisha FC. 

Mohun Bagan booking: Colaco sees a yellow card for bringing down Krishna. It is raining cards at the Salt Lake

Odisha FC booking: Pranjal sees a yellow card late in the match

Mohun Bagan booking: Sadiku sees a yellow card for his celebration, where he removed his shirt. 

Mohun Bagan has stolen a point right at the end it seems. The ball is flicked on to Sadiku, who keeps himself onside. Amrinder rushes out to narrow the angle but the Albanian stabs the ball between the Odisha keeper’s leg and the ball rolls inside the net. 

Coalco barges into Krishna from behind as the latter looked to shield the ball. It seemed like a certain foul but it is not given. That is a bizarre decision. 

Eight minutes added at the end of the second-half. 

How has Mohun Bagan escaped there? Krishna snatches the ball and makes his way at goal. He squares the ball to Princeton and he is one-on-one with Kaith but his heavy first touch allows Kaith to make the save. The danger is not yet over. Princeton gets the ball and gives it back to Pranjal again. This time, he goes for a curler but Kaith gets a hand to the ball and itcomes off the post. 

Odisha FC booking: Diego Mauricio sees a yellow card on his way to being subbed off for not leaving the pitch from the right side. It is basically a booking for time wasting. 

Odisha FC subs: IN- Princeton, Pranjal OUT- Goddard, Mauricio

Mohun Bagan sub: IN- Suhail OUT- Kiyan

Cummings shoots from an audacious distance and it is a well-taken effort. Amrinder makes the save but caannot hold on to it and there is the danger of Mohun Bagan scoring off the rebound. Fortunately, Gahlot is there to make the clearance. 

Puitea plays a lovely ball behind Subhasish, to send Ranawade on a run at goal. He makes his way inside the Mariners box and takes a shot from a tight angle, only to hit the side-netting. 

The match resumes after the last water break of the contest. 

It is stop-start at the moment with a cheap fouls being conceded by both teams. As the match enters its last quarter, expect a surge from the Mariners. 

Kiyan sends in a searching cross inside the Odisha box from the right flank but Amrinder does well to collect the ball amidst pressure. 

Mohun Bagan sub: IN - Tangri OUT- Glan

Odisha FC edging possession at the moment with 52 per cent of the ball. 

Colaco cuts in and goes for a cross inside the box in a hope to find Hamill, who had a run. However, the cross is too high and the ball goes out for an Odisha FC goal-kick. 

Mohun Bagan booking: Asish Rai is the latest player to be booked as he gets a yellow card. 

Odisha FC sub: IN- Krishna OUT - Isak

Yuste does well to clip the ball to Kiyan, who had timed his run to perfection. He goes for a first-time low cross to the centre of the box and Sadiku is there to poke the ball inside the net. That is good finishing from the Albanian. 

Odisha FC sub: IN- Lenny OUT- Jahouh

INJURY - Now, Sergio Lobera has to deal with an injury blow as it looks like Ahmed Jahouh looks to have pulled a groin muscle. He immediately wanted to come off. That is a sad end to his night, where he scored two goals. 

Sadiku gets the ball at the edge of the Odisha FC penalty box. He lashes a shot at goal but cannot hit the target as the ball soars above goal. The replay shows that he was offside so that saves the blushes for the Albanian forward. 

Odisha FC just has to manage the game right now. It is in a good position and the Mariners have already lost Thapa and Sahal from injury. But is the Mariners at the Salt Lake, so don’t count out the home support. 

Mohun Bagan sub: IN- Hnamte OUT- Thapa

Odisha FC sub: IN- Jadhav OUT- Jerry 

Odisha FC enjoys a 2-0 lead against Mohun Bagan Super Giant as the second-half kicks-off at the Salt Lake Stadium. 

Ahmed Jahouh’s brace keeps Odisha FC in a 2-0 lead against Mohun Bagan Super Giant at half-time.

Mohun Bagan sub: IN- Glan OUT- Sahal

INJURY - The night turns from bad to worse for the Mariners as Sahal comes off the pitch due to an injury he suffered when Jahouh tackled him, which led to Odisha’s second goal. 

Colaco makes his way inside the box and tries to square the ball to Cummings, but his pass takes a deflection and ends up with Amrinder. 

Jahouh wins the ball off Sahal and passes the ball to Mauricio. The Odisha FC No. 9 makes his way inside the box and squares the ball to Jahouh in the middle of the box, who slots it inside the net for his brace. 

Five minutes added at the end of the first half. 

Odisha FC booking: Puitea is the latest to see a yellow card for his tackle on Sahal from behind. 

It is a rash challenge from Jerry Lalrinzuala on Kiyan and the Mohun Bagan players want a second yellow card for the Odisha FC man. The referee has a word with his assistant as the incident happened right in front of him. In the end, it is a warning for Jerry, but that would be the last one. 

Odisha FC stitches a good move and Ranawade gets the ball on the right flank. He has all the time and space to pick out a teammate with his cross inside the box but the delivery is disappointing. 

Mohun Bagan booking: Brendan Hamill gets a yellow card for dissent. 

Jahouh is too late in clearing the ball and tries to play a give-and-go with Puitea, which allows Mohun Bagan to close in. Cummings look to pounce on the ball goes down in a bid to get to it. There is another penalty shout, before the ball is finally cleared. Jahouh gets the ball, but goes down after being fouled by Sahal. 

Jahouh snatches the ball from Cummings and there is a big roar as it was inside the box. Cummings goes down from the challenge and there is a penalty shout, but referee Crystal John waves play to continue. 

Ahmed Jahouh sends Vishal Kaith the wrong and scores from the spot to give Odisha FC a 1-0 lead against Mohun Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium. 

PENALTY- A cross comes in from the left flank from Gahlot and Puitea heads the ball at goal. Subhasish gets the block but it is with his hands and the referee immediately blows his whistle and point towards the spot. 

Hector Yuste heads the ball at goal after a cross comes in from a Mariners freekick. It is a nice effort as the ball hits the roof of the net. Yuste wants a corner, claiming Amrinder touched the ball out of play but it is a goalkick for Odisha FC. 

Odisha FC booking: Jerry Lalrinzuala sees a yellow card.

The match has settled a bit. Mohun Bagan still playing the better football but Odisha FC threading the occasional attacking move too. 

Sahal loses the ball near the Mohun Bagan penalty area, which puts the Mariners backline under pressure. A cross comes in from the left flank from Amey Ranawade, with Jerry waiting to head the ball. But Yuste does well to make the clearance with his head. 

Thapa is finally up and it looks like he can continue by the looks of it, at least for the moment. 

Thapa is struggling right now and he is on the ground, getting medical attention. It was an awkward fall, which did not seem serious at first. Juan Ferrando would not want another injury at the moment. 

Poor defending from Odisha FC as Mauricio gives the ball away. Kiyan pounces on the opportunity and threads a pass to Sadiku. The Albanian goes for a shot from a tight angle, but he skies it. 

Odisha FC booking: As expected, Gahlot gets a yellow card for his challenge on Colaco. He argues with the referee but to no avail. 

The Mariners attack on the counter and Colaco puts on the afterburners on the left flank, easily getting past Gahlot, but the move ends after the Mohun Bagan winger is fouled by Gahlot. That will surely be a yellow card. 

Isak Ralte wins the ball off Thapa and tries to find Jerry with a lobbed ball. But the delivery is poor and the ball goes straight to Kaith. 

Sadiku goes for an audacious shot from around 30 yards out and the effort is nowhere near the target. Sadiku wants a corner as he is certain the ball had a nick off an Odisha player but referee Crystal John points for a goal-kick. 

Kiyan shows lightning pace to get past his marker and make a darting run down the right flank. He tries to find Cummings with a low cross but the ball is cleared by the Juggernauts before it reaches the Australian. 

A bright start from Mohun Bagan Super Giant as the Odisha FC players are having to defend in numbers in the opening minutes of the first half. 

The ISL 2023-24 clash between Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Odisha FC is underway at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. 

Juan Ferrado, Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach: “It’s not necessary to change a lot of things. In my mind the system is the same, it is to put the goals, find spaces, etc. It’s an important match, of course, but I don’t think we need to change a lot of things.”

Sergio Lobera, Odisha FC head coach: “We are happy about the results that we have got in the last few games. But, we need to focus on the present. We are in a good moment. The team is working very well. We are growing every day, ready to improve some things obviously, especially to try to find the balance between attack and defence. The team was better in the last game but we are going to play against a very good team. They are the favourites to win the league because they have a very strong team. But we are ready. We showed everyone that we are ready for a big challenge and this is one of them.”
