KOLKATA: Odisha FC kept their hopes of progressing to the AFC Cup 2023/24 Inter-Zone semi-finals alive after posting a stunning 5-2 victory over Indian rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant in Group D on Monday.
Hugo Boumous gave Mohun Bagan the lead inside 20 minutes of the Matchday Five encounter at Salt Lake Stadium but strikes from Roy Krishna, Diego Mauricio and Cy Goddard saw Odisha go into the interval with a two-goal cushion.
Kiyan Nassiri reduced the deficit just after the hour but stoppage-time goals from Aniket Jadhav and Isak Vanlalruatfela sealed a famous win as Odisha moved within a point of table-toppers Bashundhara Kings of Bangladesh, who they host on Matchday Six on December 11.
Odisha will host Bashundhara on December 11 needing a win to advance to the knockout rounds while Mohun Bagan will travel to the Maldives to take on Maziya Sports & Recreation. IANS
