ISL Match Recap: Odisha FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant Battle to a Goalless Draw

Odisha FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant battled to a goalless draw at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, setting the tone for the Indian Super League (ISL) doubleheader on Saturday. As the competition intensifies with Mumbai City FC now level on points with Odisha following their recent victory, the pressure is mounting on the Juggernauts to maintain their top position in the standings.

Despite ample opportunities on both ends, neither team managed to find the back of the net in an enthralling contest. A total of nine shots were taken, with Isak Vanlalruatfela and Armando Sadiku leading the charge for Odisha and Mohun Bagan, respectively. Isak’s efforts kept Mohun Bagan on their toes, but Vishal Kaith’s solid performance in goal denied Odisha the breakthrough they sought.

Vishal Kaith emerged as the standout player of the game for Mohun Bagan, showcasing his goalkeeping prowess with crucial saves and a composed performance throughout the match. His contribution ensured that the visitors left with a valuable clean sheet.
