Manvir finds Petratos and the latter shoots at goal. The power on the shot is good but it is straight at Amrinder, who makes the save. 

The tempo of the match has gone down a bit as the exhaustion is evident on the faces of some. MAclaren, for one, has been unusually quiet this evening. 

Roy Krishna opens up the face of his boot and takes a first-time shot from a cross from the right flank. The shot, however, lacks power and Kaith collects the ball.

OFC sub: IN- Jerry OUT- Rahim 

Isak Ralte drops a shoulder, cuts in and then goes for a curler from the left side of the Bagan box. Raltewas aiming for the far corner but his shot did not have the required bend to trouble Kaith, who collects the ball.

The second-half is set up perfectly with the teams level. Both goals have come from set-pieces tonight. 

It is that combination of Petratos and Manvir again - Petratos swings a good cross from a Mohun Bagan corner and Manvir gets a solid header away at goal. Amrinder manages to get two hands to it but cannot keep it out as the ball goes inside the net off the woodwork. 

Liston gets past his marker, showing quick feet but rushes his cross inside the box as the ball goes out of play. 

Match resumes at the Kalinga after the first drinks break.

Jahouh clatters into Thapa with a two-footed challenge but surprisingly, the Odisha No. 10 escapes without any booking. That is a big escape for the Moroccan. 

Petratos takes a shot at Amrinder’s near post, but the Odisha keeper had his near-post covered, allowing him to make the save. 

Boumous tries to test Kaith again with a first-time shot from inside the Bagan box but this time, his effort is successfully blocked. 

It was always advantage Odisha from that indirect freekick. Jahouh sets up Boumous for the shot near the six-yard box and the Frenchman lashes at goal. The shot takes a deflection off Manvir and ends up at the back of the net. He gets a goal against his former team.
