ISL 2024-25: Odisha FC Ride Late Offensive Surge To Hold Chennaiyin FC 2-2
Indian Super League: Two late goals helped Odisha FC play out a 2-2 draw with Chennaiyin FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday. The Marina Machans had secured a two-goal lead with Wilmar Jordan Gil striking twice within a short interval in the second half. But the Juggernauts came back to bulge the net a couple of times late into the game to settle for a point.
Odisha FC held 63.2% of the possession, but both teams hit the target five teams each in the game. This is the fourth time Chennaiyin FC have dropped points from the winning position this season and the third time on their home turf.
Chennaiyin FC encountered their first goal-scoring opportunity of the match through an ambitious effort by Lukas Brambilla from the outside of the 18-yard box. Irfan Yadwad and Brambilla were placed on the left flank, and the former laid out the ball for the attacking midfielder at a considerable distance. Brambilla trusted his instinct and went for a powerful shot that sailed way above the post in the 16th minute.
