Odisha FC U-18’s frontline wreaked havoc in the 2019-20 Elite League, scoring 45 goals in just 14 games. A blitzing attack and a solid defence allowed the colts to finish second in the Delhi-Punjab-Jaipur zone, just three points below leaders Punjab FC, who managed 34 points.
The attacking prowess of Akshunna Tyagi and Rishabh Dobriyal was proved to be the key behind Odisha’s unlimited supply of goals. The former scored 21 goals while the latter netted 18 before the season was halted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Goal got in touch with Rishabh, who is just on the back of a fabulous season on the wings.
