#1 The fight for the fourth position gets more interesting
Only one team could have celebrated Marko Stankovic's penalty in the dying minutes of the game with more joy than the Hyderabad FC fans. And, that would be the Odisha FC players as their claim in the playoff spot got a new hope
With difficult games coming against ATK and FC Goa, they would be jubilated to cling to their fourth position as Mumbai City FC missed a golden opportunity to overtake them.
Chennaiyin FC would also be delighted with the outcome as their aspirations to sneak in gets more hope. Even NorthEast United FC has an outside chance as they have two games in hand. And should they pick up back-to-back victories, they would be in the reckoning.
ATK, Bengaluru FC, and FC Goa have more or less booked their playoff spot with the three fighting it out amongst themselves to finish at the top of the points table and become the first Indian club to play in the AFC Champions League.
But, the tussle for the fourth spot is very much on!
