ISL 2023-24: Odisha FC Win First-ever Playoff Tie, Reach Semis By Beating Kerala Blasters FC

Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Diego Mauricio and Isak Vanlalruatfela scored a goal each as Odisha FC qualified for the semifinal of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 by beating Kerala Blasters FC 2-1 at the Kalinga Stadium here on Friday. Accordingly, the Juggernauts have won their first-ever ISL playoffs game and thus made it to the semifinal for the first time in the competition’s history.

They will now be competing against the Mohun Bagan Super Giant across two legs in the last-four clash for a place in the ISL final. In a gripping encounter spanning across 120 minutes, the Juggernauts prevailed on their home turf despite trailing first in the game. Lithuanian striker Fedor Cernych netted in the 67th minute before Mauricio and Vanlalruatfela scored once each in the 87th and 97th minutes respectively to drag Odisha FC back into the game and storm them into the semi-finals.

Kerala Blasters FC had come across plenty of scoring opportunities before they finally broke the deadlock. Though they secured the first lead in the game, it is inarguable that the Yellow Army squandered several chances in front of the goal in the build-up to Cernych’s strike.
