Odisha were not all that impressive but did enough to claim the three points against a sub-par Mumbai ....
The tie between Odisha FC and Mumbai City FC was tipped to be an exciting affair between the two direct rivals fighting for a top-four spot. That Josep Gombau termed it a ‘six-point game’ summed up its significance.
Unfortunately, the fixture did not offer much, given only the hosts turned up at the Kalinga Stadium.
It was unsurprising that Odisha enjoyed more of the ball in the opening stages. Mumbai sat too deep in their own box and were conservative in their approach.
