ANOTHER CHANCE GOES BEGGING FOR NEUFC! Wilmar does the hard work of getting better of his defender with a mazy run but his shot from outside the boot was right to Amrinder! It's all happening in the final few minutes

Odisha FC vs NorthEast United Live: OFC 3-1 NEUFC 85' GOOOALLLL!

Diego Mauricio has his goal! Gets the goal he wanted on his 50th appearance for Odisha as he fires the ball past Mirshad to the far post from the edge of the box. NEUFC defence at fault for giving the Brazilian all the time to control the ball and fire a low shot! Odisha are surely going through now

The football that just played out in front of us 🥵✨

Odisha FC vs NorthEast United Live: OFC 2-1 NEUFC 82'

Mirshad with another big save to deny Diego Mauricio! The ball rolls out for corner and NEUFC are still in the game. NorthEast forward line need to be as inspiring as their goalkeeper

Odisha FC 2-1 NorthEast United 80'

No hat-trick for Nandha as he is taken off for Isak Ralte while Raynier replaces Princeton Robello in the midfield! Odisha just 10 minutes away from setting up a final with Bengaluru FC

Super Cup Live: OFC 2-1 NEUFC 74'

The resulting free kick was delivery as an indirect free-kick into the box by Victor, the pass fell nicely for Diego Mauricio to take a header but the Brazilian couldn't keep it on target! Odisha missed three opportunities now to kill the game! Will it comeback to hurt them? Odisha appear pretty confident at the moment though

Odisha FC vs NorthEast United Live: OFC 2-1 NEUFC 73'

NEUFC substitute Hira Mondal takes down Aniket Jadhav at the edge of the box! For a moment, it looked like the referee will point at the penalty spot! But it was possibly the right call by the official

63' Nandha Kumar plays a one-two with Victor Rodriguez and smashes it in!

Nandha wants that hat trick now as he is toying with the NEUFC defence. He made two incisive runs down the left flank after the second goal but Mirshad made himself big on both the occasion to keep NEUFC in the game!

Odisha FC 2-1 NorthEast United 63' GOOOALLLLL!

Nandha puts Odisha in the lead for the first time! What a form this winger has been! Makes a solo cut-in run from the right flank and plays a nice one-two with Victor to fire the goal that kisses the crossbar before crossing the goal-line.

Early danger for Odisha as Osama Malik fails to contain Wilmar and slips. Takes down Wilmar in the follow through as well but the referee doesn't think it's intended and points for a goal kick. Nobody would have blamed him for giving a penalty there! NEUFC fans must be feeling strongly about it.

Odisha Narender Gehlot with a crucial heading clearance for a lofted cross from right flank as Wilmar already committed himself to a volley, could have been goal number two for NEUFC! Meanwhile the match official adds three minutes of stoppage time

NEUFC's high defensive line was exposed as a pin-point long pass from an Odisha centre back left sea of space for Mauricio to run into the box from right flank. His threatening cross to the far post was missed by Nandha, who gestured right after that he couldn't see the cross at all.

Odisha FC vs NorthEast United Live: OFC 1-1 NEUFC 28'

NEUFC already had to make a forced substitution as midfielder Irshad was replaced by Pragyan Gogoi right before Nandha scored the equaliser.

Odisha are seeing all the possession at the moment but are struggling to break the NEUFC defence as the game has settled down after the early rush of blood from both sides.
