ISL-7: Odisha FC Blown Away By NorthEast’s Early 20-Minute Blitz

Vasco: An early 20-minute blitz helped NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) tame Odisha FC 3-1 in an ISL-7 fixture at Tilak Maidan here on Sunday.

Luis Machado scored two and Deshorn Brown one as NorthEast stormed to a three-goal lead before the game was 20 minutes old.

Midfielder Brad Inman pulled a goal back just before half-time, but that wasn’t enough to spur a second-half fightback for Odisha FC.

It was bottom-rankers Odisha FC’s 10th defeat in 17 matches. With three games left in their disappointing season, Odisha FC have just 9 points to show for, having won 1 and drawn 6.
