Odisha FC Vs Hyderabad FC Highlights, ISL 2024-25: OFC 3-1 HFC At Full-time

♐Welcome to the live coverage of the Indian Super League 2024-25. Today, Odisha FC go up against Hyderabad FC. Stay tuned for updates.

The two sides have squared off against each other 11 times in the ISL, with Odisha FC and Hyderabad FC ♒winning six and four matches respectively. One match has produced a draw.

💛Odisha FC have won each of the last four games against Hyderabad FC.

Odisha FC are placed seventh in the table and have lost some form in recent times. They have not won a game in their last three matches and would be eager to bounce back against Hyderabad who are placed second from bottom. However, the Nizams have defeated Mohammedan Sporting and Jamshedpur FC to win two out of their last three games.

♔Here we go then! The opening whistle has been sounded and we have the Odisha FC up against the Hyderabad FC in what promises to be a good game.

꧃4' Interesting start. Allan Paulista has headed the ball into the net but the referee had already sounded the whistle for a foul. Hyderabad find the net but not the goal. Off side also called.

💫15' First 15 minutes done and we are still searching for a significant attack in the game. Odisha have controlled the ball throughout this start except few small periods. They have also managed a shot on target but the score is still 0-0. But Hyderabad need to find a way to hold the ball.

𒅌26' Odisha is putting pressure on the Hyderabad defence but the opening goal still remains to come. Some good defending from Hyderabad so far in the game. Their backline has been really solid and not allowed Odisha to get the ball in the box easily.

30' Hyderabad FC take the lead!!!

🥃Stefan Sapic is at the right place and at the right time. A brilliant save from Amrinder had given Hyderabad a corner. The corner was cleared but Hyderabad continued with the ball. This was a cross from the left and took two headers with the second going straight towards the goalkeeper. However, Sapic stretched his foot at the right time and pushed the ball into the goal.

𒅌45' Hyderabad miss. Ayush Adhikari cuts into the box and tries to shoot through his left foot but can not find enough space to keep the ball on target.

HALF-TIME!!!

🐈Hyderabad FC go into the break with the lead. A bit of talk by the Odisha FC players with the referees as everyone walks back. Stefen Sapic's second goal of the season keeps Hyderabad ahead after the first 45 minutes.

ꦿSecond half begins. Hyderabad will have a tough task of defending their lead as Odisha, who were the better side largely in the first half, would bounce back hard.

Odisha FC level scores!

൩47' Mourtada Fall heads home the equaliser and Odisha have levelled scored right after the break. This would help them. Fall uses his height to full advantage and finds the net in the top left corner.

49' Odisha FC take lead!!!

♏A brilliant passage of play for the hosts and just four minutes into the second half, they are ahead on the scoreline. Hyderabad FC have been shocked early after the break. Hugo Boumous had provided the cross for the last goal and this time he scores himself. He finds the net on the bottom left and Odisha fans are delighted.

ꩲ66' Ramhlunchhunga takes a shot from outside the box but it is high and wide to the right. Allan Paulista with a pass for Ramhlunchhunga but he can not keep the shot on target. Odisha finally getting into their elements.

70' Odisha FC score their third goal!!!

💛Rahim Ali who was found offside just a few minutes back is now on the goalsheet. Third strike from the Juggernauts and they are on a roll. Mourtada Fall with the assist after a counter attack and Odisha get another one.

🌺90' Rahim Ali gets a yellow card for a bad foul but Odisha would not mind that. They are winning this game now. We are into the extra time now and the game seems done. Eight minutes added to the game.

Full-time!!!

𒐪A win for Odisha FC and they do it quite comfortably despite a shaky first half.

ꦐOdisha smash three goals and get three points. A tough day for Hyderabad who had taken the lead at the half-hour mark via Sapic's close-range goal. They managed to defend well and go into the break with the lead. But after the break, Odisha converted possession domination into goals. Fall and Boumous scored twice within minutes of the half-time and then Ali added the third goal in the 70th minute. A big win for Odisha.

♛Despite this win, Odisha remain at the seventh spot in the standings with 29 points from 21 games. Hyderabad are at the second last position with 12 points in 20 matches.
