SECOND-HALF
46' | Action resumes. Odisha FC have 45 minutes plus added time to get the equaliser or even a winner from here. Hyderabad are leading by just one goal and would be really kicking themselves if they fail to score again and Odisha equalise. Drama in store for us, hopefully.
HALF-TIME
Halicharan Narzary's strike on the 13th minute of the match is the difference between the two side as Hyderabad Fc head into the break with a 1-goal lead over Odisha FC.
Good Save
43' | Liston Colaco stands up to take the free-kick and hits a powerful shot. It swings away from Arshdeep Singh to his right. The OFC keeper does well as he dives on that side and punches it away.
HFC Chance
42' | Was the Trent and Robbo there? An HFC counter-attack. Liston gets the ball in the middle of the park on the right flank, he spots Hali on the left with space. Plays in an inch-perfect pass which Halicharan receives brilliantly then gets inside the box and shoots but his strike is straight at the keeper.
OFF THE BAR
38' | HAlicharan could have had his second there but his placement was too fine as he hit the right-hand bar. Aridane was the creator this time.
35' | Well, it has been all Hyderabad so far in this match. Odisha had spells but they have lacked venom. Hyderabad on the other could have increased their lead but again they have been lacking that final pass.
HFC Chance
30' | Another good piece of play by the Nizams there. The ball was played to Liston from the back who then, in turn, played a forward pass for Ashish Rai. He fails to whip in a cross first-time as an OFC player makes the block. He gets a second chance but he slams it to another OFC player. The subsequent corner was easily dealt with by Odisha FC.
OFC Chance
24' | A rare chance for Odisha there and it was again Diego Mauricio who created the opportunity. He played a dinked pass into the box for Daniel Lalhlimpuia. Daniel controlled the ball then took a turn and shoots but HFC custodian dives to his right to make the save.
HFC Chance
23' | Beautiful piece of skill from Ashish Rai. The right-back chips the ball over OFC player then runs past him to receive the ball and fire in a cross in the box for Aridane. The Hyderabad skipper got the connection but it was not powerful enough to beat Arshdeep.
18'| Akash Mishra loses the ball on the left flank to Jerry and the HFC left-back.then clatters Jerry in an attempt to win the ball back and the referee awards a free-kick to Odisha FC.
GOAL
Hyderabad Take the Lead
13' | Halicharan opens the scoring for the Nizams. A long ball was played in, Aridane got his head to it and played a forward pass, Liston collected the ball, moved inside the box and played a perfect square pass for incoming HAlicharan, who cooly slotted it past a helpless Arshdeep.
OFC Survive
10' | Odisha defenders saved Arshdeep some blushes there. A nothing cross was fired in from the right-hand side and Arshdeep fumbled it. The loose ball fell for HFC player's but his strike was well blocked by Tratt.
7' | End-to-end match so far between the Nizams and the Kalinga Warriors. Both have created chances, however, have been unlucky with the final pass.
3' | First clear-cut chance of the match goes to Odisha FC and who else but Diego Mauricio was the man who took the shot there. Had he scored there the goal wouldn't have counted as the flag was raised for offside
KICK OFF
1' | The action begins at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa. A win for Hyderabad would take them on level terms with third-placed FC Goa, while a win for Odisha FC would mean they close their gap with 10th-placed Kerala Blasters to just 1 point. A Lot is at stake tonight. who do you think will have the last laugh? Let's see...

Hyderabad FC may only have got a point against Indian Super League (ISL) leaders Mumbai City FC in their previous game, but the result was important in many ways. In what was one of their most difficult matches of the season. The Nizams put on a gritty display to register their third clean sheet of the season, restricting MCFC -- a side that has scored the most this season -- to a goalless draw. The Nizams could have also bagged the three points, had they converted their chances.
Now, after an improved performance against the Islanders, Hyderabad coach Manuel Marquez will be hoping for more of the same from his side when they face bottom-placed Odisha FC at the Fatorda Stadium here on Tuesday. A victory in their next game will put Hyderabad level against FC Goa, who are currently third.
"For sure (the confidence is high), when you get a good result (against Mumbai) even (though) we wanted to win. The performance of the team was very good in all the aspects -- physically, tactically, and technically," Marquez said.
The last time these two sides met early in the season, Hyderabad got the better of an injury-marred Odisha side, thanks to Aridane Santana's penalty. With form on their side, Hyderabad will start favourites again but Marquez is expecting a different challenge from Odisha this time around.
"In that game, we played better but we only won 1-0 with a penalty. Odisha have been playing better in the last few games. I know they are the last team on the table but all the people who are following this championship know you can win or lose against other teams," he said
Odisha come into the game after a demoralising loss against Chennaiyin FC -- their seventh defeat of the season, which is also the most by any side. They only have six points in their kitty and anything less than a win on Tuesday would further dent their playoff hopes.
But despite the odds stacked against them, Odisha coach Stuart Baxter is hoping for an improved show against Hyderabad, who he labelled as one of the most complete sides in the league.
"With the team we had in the first game, we played a good game, although it was decided by a penalty after a massive mistake by us. I'm hoping we can show we have improved and deal with them a lot better," Baxter stated.
