Bambolim (Goa): Odisha FC let victory slip out of their grasp to settle for a point in the ISL-8 clash with FC Goa here on Tuesday evening.
Leading 1-0 thanks, to a fine penalty by second-half substitute Jonathan Christian, Odisha FC conceded the equalizer in stoppage time with literally the last action in the game. Alexander Jesuraj, another substitute, kept pace with overlapping Airam Cabrera’s run down the left flank and headed in a precise cross from inside the box.
Interestingly, Odisha FC and FC Goa had played out a similar 1-1 draw in their first-leg encounter five weeks ago.
Odisha FC, who could have moved into the top 5 had they managed to see off a few more seconds, are in seventh place in the 11-team table with 18 points from 14 matches.
The Bhubaneswar-based side next faces East Bengal on February 7.
