21:01 (IST)

71' - Taylor equalises!

Goal! Steven Taylor equalises for Odisha FC! 

Finally a goal against 11 players for OFC and it is the skipper. Jerry Mawihmingthanga wips in the ball from a set-piece and the defender limbs high and draws his team level. 

20:58 (IST)

68' - Keeper palms it over!

Brilliant from BFC as Udanta Singh flies down the right and the cuts back to return the ball to Erik Paartalu, who takes a long-range shot only for Arshdeep Singh to claw it out f the top corner. 

20:55 (IST)

62' - Close!

Odisha come close but in their way is Gurpreet Singh Sandhu! Beautiful skill fro the right-back Shubham Sarangi as he crosses to Gaurav Bora, after a one-two with Steven Taylor. Bora slashes at it but Gurpreet is down to right in a flash and holds on.

Comedy of errors as BFC have 5 foreigners on the field of play as they prepare to take a free-kick after Suresh Wangjam was fouled. 

Ashique Kuruniyan and Kristian Opseth are off and Udanta Singh and Fran Gonzalez are on in their place.

The set-piece goes ahead finally but nothing comes off it. 

20:41 (IST)

48' - Ouch!

Jerry Mawihmingthanga and Ashique Kuruniyan are ina tussle and the Bengaluru FC player comes off worse and is down on the field. Looks like he was stepped on on his head from behind.

He seems to have played his part tonight and will be replaced.

20:34 (IST)

2nd Half!

Bengaluru FC have the advantage as Odisha FC aim to come back in the game.

Marcelinho can make a change but will he be introduced soon?

20:19 (IST)

Half Time!

Sunil Chhetri's goal is the difference for Bengaluru FC but Odisha FC would feel hard-done-by the off-side where they scored!

22' - Everybody misses!

How many chances did Bengaluru get?

Almost all the forward players took their chance but all failed to get it in the back of the net. Odisha holding on here...

19:50 (IST)

19' - A test for either defence!

End to end stuff from both Odisha and Bengaluru.. who will blink first?

19:42 (IST)

9' - Off or on?

No Goal! Off-side called and Manuel Onwu's shot goes in the back of the net. 

Replays show that it was a tight call and maybe on. 

19:39 (IST)

7' - I'll catch that!

Jerry Mawihmingthanga flies down the right with acres of space and he whips in a beautiful cross but there is Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who plucks it out of the air with Manuel Onwu lurking at the back post. 

19:35 (IST)

2' - Miscue goes wide!

Dimas Delgado takes the corner in the first minute itself and Arshdeep Singh punches it way from another corner. 

From that, the BFC play it short and after a few passes, send it in for Kristian Opseth, who tries to volley with his right but he miscues and it flies harmlessly wide. 

19:31 (IST)

19:16 (IST)

Yet to Score vs 11!

Odisha FC's only two goals this season came against a 10-man Jamshedpur FC side - which means that they are yet to score against a team with 11 players this season! 

19:05 (IST)

Scoring problem!

Odisha FC, on the other hand, have failed to score in four of their five matches this season, and the poor form of their forward line will be a big cause for concern for Stuart Baxter’s side.

19:00 (IST)

Leaky Defense!

Bengaluru FC beat Kerala Blasters FC 4-2 in a thrilling fashion in their previous encounter and will hope to carry their goal-scoring form into the game against Odisha FC.

ISL 2020-21 HIGHLIGHTS, Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC: Cleiton, Chhetri Give Bengaluru 2-1 Win after Taylor Equaliser

ISL 2020-21 Highlights, Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC Latest Updates: Odisha FC

would have been in the lead with Manuel Onwu putting the ball in the back of the net but he was called offside when he had timed his run to perfection but it was Sunil Chhetri who gave Bengaluru FC the lead in the 38th minute only for Steven Taylor to equalise only for Cleiton Silva to get BFC the lead back in the 79th minute in the Indian Super League Season 7 at the GMC Stadium, Bambolim. Ashique Kuruniyan received a boot the head and had to be taken to the hospital.

The numbers, for Odisha, don't make for good reading. They have just one point from five matches and have scored the least number of goals in the league so far. Both their goals came against Jamshedpur FC when the latter were down to ten-men. And on Wednesday, Odisha will take on former champions Bengaluru, who are unbeaten in the league so far.

Baxter's side averages just 2.4 shots on target per match so far and the Englishman stressed the need for his side to be more attacking in nature.  "We certainly need to be better at attacking based on our possession. If we can gain momentum and take momentum away from the opponents, that will help us,” said Baxter.

Odisha’s defence has conceded seven goals so far, four of which have been from set-pieces (3 penalties and 1 free-kick). They have conceded a goal in almost every match.

But Baxter was firm in defending his backline and called in for a collective term performance, “I don't think conceding goals is the direct responsibility of the centre-backs and I don't think the centre-backs' performances have been sub-standard. We have defended very well in some games.

Bengaluru have scored a good chunk of their goals from set-pieces so far, including three from throw-ins, and will look to exploit Odisha's vulnerability in this regard. They are also high on confidence, coming off a huge win against Kerala Blasters, in which the likes of Cleiton Silva and Sunil Chhetri managed to find the net. Bengaluru coach Carles Cuadrat will expect his players to pick up from where they left off against Kerala.

“I know my players, there is no complacency. They are competitive and for sure, they will try to get the three points. We are never complacent against any team in the ISL because we know that any team can beat any team in this league,” said Cuadrat.

“For sure, teams like Odisha are very dangerous. We are all conscious of that. We know that they have been fighting for the points, but it has not been happening until now,” added Cuadrat.
