Odisha FC

Amrinder Singh - 7 10

Amrinder Singh couldn't have done much about the Kerala Blasters goal. He made a couple of decent saves before getting the game-winning assist with a punt forward.

's corners caused problems in the area and he also put in a decent shift defensively, recording two tackles, two interceptions and two clearances.

Carlos Delgado - 7 10

Delgado's saved shot led to Odisha's equalizer and he was a major target for the team from set-pieces. He commanded his backline extremely well, winning six of his eight duels and making two tackles, three interceptions and five clearances.

Osama Malik - 6 10

Malik lost Khabra for the Kerala Blasters goal but was decent otherwise. He needs to improve his passing out from the back as he often went for the safer option or a long clearance.

Shubham Sarangi - 6 5 10

Sarangi made some meaningful runs forward and contributed six long balls. He also tracked back brilliantly, recording three clearances, two interceptions and two tackles.

Isaac Vanmalsawma - 6 5 10

Saul Crespo - 6 5 10

Crespo kept things ticking in the middle of the park for the hosts with some neat passes but his creativity was largely limited by Kerala Blasters.

Thoiba Singh Moirangthem - 6 10

Moirangthem was useful in midfield and also got a shot on target, but couldn't impact proceedings as much as he would've wanted.

Jerry Mawihmingthanga - 7 10

Mawihmingthanga got Odisha's equalizer by being in the right place at the right time to jab home from right in front of goal. He was a constant presence in the box, but missed a decent chance with a diving header and slipped after being put through by Martin. J E (R)ight place at the (R)ight time Y

Diego Mauricio - 6 5 10

had a couple of good chances to score, but was foiled by Gill in the Kerala Blasters goal. He also managed a key pass before being taken off in the second half.

Nandhakumar Sekar - 5 5 10

Sekar struggled to impact proceedings from the right flank and simply couldn't link up with his fellow forwards or trouble the Kerala Blasters' defense.

Substitutes

Raynier Fernandes - 6 10

Fernandes replaced Vanmalsawma as part of a triple substitution in the 65th minute. He added some composure to Odisha's midfield and also put a good chance just wide of the post.

Isak Ralte - 6 5 10

Ralte came on for Sekar with 25 minutes to go. He created two fantastic chances for Mawihmingthanga and Fernandes, but both players headed wide of the post.

Pedro Martin - 8 10

Martin replaced Mauricio midway through the second half. He put Mawihmingthanga through on goal with a neat pass, but the winger slipped at the wrong moment, and his link-up play in general was superb. The Spaniard eventually got his time in the limelight with a stunning goal in the 86th minute after exquisitely controlling Amrinder Singh's punt forward. Martin's half volley was unstoppable and the celebration was certainly up there with the quirkiest we've seen in the ISL as well. + +

Jessel Carneiro - 6 10

Ruivah Hormipam - 6 10

Hormipam was beaten with ease by Mauricio in one of the first major attacks of the game, but recovered well to put in a solid display. However, his passing out from the back could've been a little better.

Marko Leskovic - 6 10

Leskovic unfortunately deflected the ball right into Mawihmingthanga's path for Odisha's equalizer. His passing was decent and he came up with a game-high six clearances.

Harmanjot Khabra - 7 10

In our quest to break the deadlock!

Jeakson Singh - 6 10

Dimitris Diamantakos - 6 10

Diamantakos made a few good runs and got a couple of shots on target, but didn't trouble Odisha's defense or goalkeeper enough. The Kerala Blasters need to get more balls into his feet in dangerous areas to allow him to have an impact on games.

Rahul replaced Abdul Samad on the hour mark. He didn't get on the ball much but contributed defensively and won a couple of fouls with his acceleration.

Victor Mongil - 6 10

Mongil came on for Kalyuzhnyi in the 64th minute. He was largely solid but completely lost Martin for Odisha's winner.

Nihal Sudheesh - 5 10

Sudheesh replaced Hormipam in the 64th minute. He completed none of his three pass attempts during his time on the pitch.
