The Indian Super League match will kick off at 7:30pm IST, and can be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website in India. It will be live telecast on the Sports18 network in India.
The match kicks off with Odisha FC, the visiting side, making the first move.
The game’s off to a fiery start, and East Bengal is already in a bit of trouble. Madih Talal is down, and it doesn’t look like he’ll be able to continue. Odisha FC has already made a few dangerous incursions into the EBFC box, creating some solid chances. The Torch Bearers might want to start sweating a little, as Odisha’s early pressure is definitely turning up the heat!
At the 30th minute, The Torch Bearers are steadily gaining control of the game. Odisha's grip is loosening, and the home side has taken a few shots that could have easily found the net. Credit to Odisha's goalkeeper Amrinder and their defense, as the match remains goalless for now.
East Bengal will now play with 10 men as Jeakson Singh is shown a second yellow card, resulting in a red card.
And that's halftime! After a tense 45+4' minutes, East Bengal is down to 10 men after Jeakson Singh saw his second yellow card, which many will argue was a bit harsh.
But hey, this is a team that's already defied the odds this season, holding their own even with 9 men on the field! They head into the break still in the game, and now both coaches have plenty to chat about. It's been a thrilling first half, and the second half promises even more drama.
And the second half kicks off. Both teams are pushing hard, looking for that breakthrough. Let’s see who strikes first.

Lal Chungnunga gets East Bengal off to a flying start, securing them a much-needed lead with a well-timed strike. The home side will be hoping this goal boosts their confidence as they look to build on this advantage and take control of the match.

On the other side, Cleiton Silva from East Bengal FC tried his luck with a long-range effort from over 40 yards on the left wing, but the ball drifted wide to the right, with Mahesh Naorem providing the assist.
Odisha FC has been pushing hard in the last 10 minutes, and the goal was inevitable. Boumous stays calm in front of the goal, putting the Juggernauts ahead.

East Bengal have been pressing relentlessly in the last 10 minutes, hoping to equalize. However, things haven't gone their way, and with just 6 minutes of added time, they have little chance left to level the score.
EBFC 1-2 OFC
And the full-time hooter blows. Odisha FC dug deep to clinch a 2-1 away win over East Bengal FC. The home side was brilliant, but Odisha were quick to counter after Lalchungnunga gave East Bengal the lead early in the second half, and it was Jerry Mawihmingthanga's stunning equalizer that saw the game out. T
he match was very tight, but Odisha's persistence eventually paid off in the 81st minute, when Hugo Boumous scored a clinical left-footed strike to give the visitors the lead. East Bengal's late push did not help as Odisha defended resolutely and managed to walk away with all three points.
