A 3-2 win over Hyderabad FC meant that Odisha FC climbed to the sixth position in the Indian Super League (ISL) table with nine points in eight games. Carlos Delgado, Xisco Hernandez and Martin Perez Guedes were on target as Josep Gombau’s men just about bagged all three points despite playing a good part of the second half with just 10 men.
Odisha have scored 11 goals in the league so far this season. Seven of those (63.63 percent) have come in just two games. This statistic does not read well for a team competing in a league that requires consistency over 18 games.
