Full Time

The final whistle blows in Bhubaneswar and Odisha FC have overcome the Bengaluru challenge with a solitary goal to open their Kalinga Super Cup account with all three points.

Bengaluru boss Gerard Zaragoza won't be elated with the result but their performance was quite decent despite playing with a man down.

Veendorp is shown a Yellow for a rash challenge on Roy Krishna. Completely blocked off the Fijian striker.

Vignesh's floated cross from left hand side is crucially intercepted by Jovanovic. Roy Krishna would have had a simple tap in had the BFC defender missed it.
