Capital Football Arena: Title contenders Odisha FC bagged three points with consummate ease when they brushed aside city-mates Sports Odisha 3-1 in the Indian Women's Football League (IWL) at the Capital Football Arena on Sunday. The winners led 2-0 at halftime.

On paper, the match was deemed the Odisha Derby. In reality, it was a sheer mismatch as the top-ranked team in the league table was pitted against a side struggling to avoid finishing at the bottom. There was no change of fortune at the end of the tie.

Odisha FC moved to the top with 19 points from seven matches, while Sports Odisha continued to be the bottom spooners having collected only two points from eight outings.
