Impressive second-half response gives Odisha hope

Jamshedpur and Odisha lost their respective opening games of the season and badly wanted to make an impact in their second game on Sunday.

They were up against each other in the second round of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) and the fixture produced two distinct halves of football.

It was Jamshedpur who looked solid right from the off. Owen Coyle's team made use of the width of the pitch to good effect and worked the ball well in midfield to claim early dominance in the match.

The Odisha defence, led by former Newcastle United man Steven Taylor looked shaky with 2019-20 ISL Golden Boot winner Nerijus Valskis waiting pounce in and around the box.
