Cole's goal settles point for Odisha as NorthEast's rally goes in vain

Goa, Dec 22 (UNI) It could have been another defeat but Odisha FC clawed back
a point despite taking the lead early against NorthEast United, drawing 2-2 in a
Hero Indian Super League game at the GMC Stadium, here on Tuesday.
Odisha took the lead through Diego Mauricio (26’) before Benjamin Lambot (45+1’)
drew parity. Kwesi Appiah (65’) then converted a penalty to put the Highlanders ahead
but soon saw his goal canceled out by Cole Alexander (67’).
Odisha named an unchanged eleven from the side that lost to Bengaluru FC while
NorthEast coach Gerard Nus rang in four changes with Federico Gallego handed a
start.
The first half saw a cagey contest with both sides heading into the break level after
creating plenty of chances.
The first big chance of the game arrived during the 10th minute but Odisha keeper
Arshdeep Singh produced a fine save to deny an opener for the Highlanders.
Gallego picked up Kwesi Appiah with a long ball, and the latter made space for
himself between two markers but saw his shot blocked by Arshdeep.
Minutes later, Odisha carved out a great chance at the other end from a set-piece
and should have bagged the lead.
Diego Mauricio had two attempts on goal and his second one seemed to be heading
into the net before Dylan Fox pulled off a fine goal-line clearance to keep it goalless.
But the Brazilian redeemed himself with a wonder-strike to hand his side the lead.
Mauricio, receiving the ball from outside the box, cut inside before drilling a low shot
that trickled into the back of the net. The ball went in following a light deflection off
Lalengmawia, leaving the keeper with no chance.
NorthEast piled on the pressure after conceding and missed three chances from
set-pieces. However, a lapse in concentration from Odisha in stoppage time saw them
concede.
Lambot made a run at the far post and picked up Ashutosh Mehra’s cross before
heading home.
Nus’ side began the second half from where they left off and deservedly took the
lead. They won a penalty after Appiah was tripped in the box by Arshdeep. The
Ghanian stepped up to take the spot-kick and struck it with venom to notch his third
ISL goal.
Their lead didn’t last long as Alexander equalised for Odisha by beautifully curling
his shot at the far post.
NorthEast nearly scored the winner in the dying minutes but substitute Khassa
Camara’s long-range strike missed the crossbar by inches.
