Odisha 2-0 Chennaiyin

A clinical performance by the reliable names of Odisha FC as this was far from the entertaining and attack-friendly side one expects from a Sergio Lobera side. It will take a few matches before they play more like a unit, till then the coach will hope that the likes of Diego Mauricio, Jerry, Ahmed Jahouh among others keep bringing their individual brilliance to affect a game like they did in the opening match of the season!
