Kalinga Stadium Main Pitch: Defending champions Odisha FC dominated a 10-man Inter Kashi and notched up an easy 3-0 win in a Group D match of the Kalinga Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium Main Pitch in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.

For Odisha FC, Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Diego Mauricio and Isak Vanlalruatfela were the scorers. Inter Kashi defender Anil Chawan was sent off in the 75th minute, leaving his team to play with 10 men for the rest of the period.

The win helped Odisha reach the top of their group with six points from two matches. They have the same points as FC Goa but are ahead on goal difference. In an early match on Wednesday, FC Goa defeated Bengaluru FC. With only one team advancing from the group for the semi-finals, it will be a winner-take-it-all battle when Odisha FC face FC Goa in their last group match on Monday, January 22. While FC Goa are required to win, a draw could suffice for Odisha FC.
