86' FCG make a double change. Princeton Rebello and Makan Chothe gets replaced by Muhammed Nemil and Alexander Jesuraj respectively.

79' Leander D'Cunha comes in and replaces Seriton Fernandes in defense. A strange tactic from the coach to make a defensive change especially when the side is looking to find the equalizer.

75' Alberto Noguera is inside the box and loses his balance as OFC defenders gather around him. He goes down and asks for a penalty but the referee asks the players to continue the play as it wasn't a foul.

61' GOAL! Odisha FC lead. Jonathas Cristian hammers it home from the spot.

60' The referee has given the penalty!

56' Thoiba Singh is down on the ground. As he went in for a 50-50 challenge, Rebello just caught him on the right boot. The free-kick went the other way as the ball hit Thoiba's hand and Makan Chothe went on a haring run on the right flank. He cuts inside but slices his shot and the ball goes out for a throw-in. Edu Bedia also seems to be struggling and is down on the pitch.

53' OFC win a free kick on the right flank. Javier Hernandez whips it in towards the far post and it's Victor Mongil who leaps up but the defender just about gets a flick on it and the ball goes out for a corner. It's been a complete contrast so far from the opening 45 minutes.

51' FCG digging a hole here for themselves! Ivan Gonzalez gives the ball away around his own box and it comes out to Aridai Suarez inside the box. Aridai goes for goal from the left side of the goal and Anwar Ali makes the block. The ball did hit his hand but his hand was tucked well in. The referee had the best look at it from where he was standing and makes the correct decision to not give a penalty here.

49' OFC have come out of the blocks strongly here in the second half. With Jonathas being brought on, they have bolstered the attack and Isaac Chhakchhuak plays in a lovely through ball inside the box. The ball has a bit of pace on it but Jonathas's first touch is poor. In the end he has to reach out for his shot and the keeper manages to block it.

46' The players are back for the second half and it's OFC who will get things underway. OFC are also making a double change at the interval as Jonathas Cristian and Lalruatthara are brought in for Liridon Krasniqi and Lalhrezuala Sailung.

HALF TIME: FC Goa 0-0 Odisha FC

45' Added Time: 2 Minutes.

45' Naveen Kumar almost with a costly error! OFC win a corner and the ball is cleared away. It comes to Aridai Suarez outside the box and he just lifts it back in. It's an easy grab for the keeper but he spills it and Sahil Panwar tries to latch onto it. Kumar does well to react and put in the tackle to get the ball towards safety.

43' It's been all FCG for the last 15 minutes or so. They have dominated the midfield and have created plenty of chances. Their conversion rate has been an issue throughout the season and the same can be seen tonight.

40' FCG win yet another corner and Brandon whips it into a dangerous area. Thoiba Singh doesn't clear it away and Princeton Rebello goes for the side-footed shot on the rebound. Thoiba redeems himself by putting his body on the line and is able to get half a block on it. It is enough to take the sting out of the shot and Arshdeep Singh collects it with ease.

38' Alberto Noguera pulls back Aridai Suarez as he looks to launch a counterattack. It looks to be a clear yellow card offense but the OFC players surround the referee to push the issue. Sometimes the referees don't like that and Alberto Noguera escapes with just a verbal warning.

35' FCG are bossing the midfield at the moment. There's plenty of space in the midfield and the ball is laid out wide left towards Aiban Dohling. Aiban cuts inside and curls it in towards the far post. Arshdeep Singh just about manages to punch it away but it was a nervy moment as his punch didn't even go outside the box. Will FCG be able to open the scoring with just 10 minutes left in the half?

32' Brilliant play yet again from FCG. Alberto Noguera has the ball around the edge of the box and shows good strength to fend off a couple of OFC defenders. He then lays it in towards Airam Cabrera inside the box, who shows great presence of mind to let it through for Edu Bedia who makes an overlapping run. Edu Bedia fires it in from an acute angle and Arshdeep Singh makes a good reaction save.

29' Aridai Suarez receives a long ball deep on the left flank and takes a superb first touch. He sees Krasniqi making the run towards the far post and lifts in a cheeky ball which is just perfect. Krasniqi's first touch is poor and the keeper, Naveen Kumar is quick to come out of the blocks. Krasniqi's shot goes wide after rebounding off the keeper and in the end, the keeper gets clattered by his own defender, Anwar Ali.

28' After getting fouled a couple of times and waiving the yellow card, Liridon Krasniqi goes into a two-footed tackle into the back of Brandon Fernandes. Krasniqi does try to pull out and that's what saved him. It might have been a straight red otherwise.

24' Airam Cabrera gives a lovely pass to Brandon Fernandes. He fires a shot in one motion with his right foot. His attempt goes just past the goalpost. Had that been on target, it would have been very interesting.

18' Alberto Noguera sees Liridon Krasniqi get away with the ball and he brings the player down from behind. The referee does not book him but gives OFC a free kick. However, nothing comes off it.

16' Alberto Noguera is in the midfield and he starts sprinting ahead with the ball. He lays it off to Airam Cabrera who gets inside the box and there are no players surrounding him. He shoots it but the ball goes over the keeper's head as well as over the crossbar.

15' Edu Bedia gives a long ball to Airam Cabrera who asked for it. However, he is a little too early on his run as he is marginally offside. Good call from the linesman.

10' Brandon Fernandes gets a long ball at the left flank. He takes his time and sees the run of Alberto Noguera. Fernandes gives a through ball to Noguera who is inside the box. He shoots it from a very close range but the angle was very tough perhaps and the ball goes just wide of the target.

7' Airam Cabrera gets the ball in midfield and he passes it to Brandon Fernandes. He takes a long-range attempt but it goes wide of the goal.

6' Aridai Suarez gets the ball at the edge of the box and he goes past one of the FCG defenders and sees an opportunity. He shoots but his shot gets blocked and goes for a corner. Nothing comes off the corner as it gets cleared away.

4' Sahil Panwar gives away a cheap free-kick close to the edge of the box and Edu Bedia is standing over it. It is a fair distance away from goal but Edu shoots it high and wide of the right post.
