Wed Jan 22 14:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Odisha FC Stuns Bengaluru FC in Thrilling ISL Match; Mohun Bagan Held to Draw
**Bengaluru, India** – Odisha FC pulled off a dramatic 3-2 victory over Bengaluru FC in a thrilling Indian Super League (ISL) match on Wednesday, significantly boosting their playoff hopes. Bengaluru, who took an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Edgar Mendez and Sunil Chhetri within the first 13 minutes, saw their advantage crumble after Aleksandar Jovanovic received a red card for a foul on Diego Mauricio. Mauricio converted the resulting penalty, and later scored another penalty after a handball. Jerry Mawia’s goal in the second half completed Odisha’s comeback, leaving Bengaluru winless in 2025.
Meanwhile, league leaders Mohun Bagan Super Giant were held to a goalless draw by Chennaiyin FC in a lackluster match. Despite dominating possession, Bagan struggled to create clear-cut chances, managing only three shots on target. Chennaiyin had opportunities to win, most notably a missed header from Ryan Edwards late in the game. The draw extends Mohun Bagan’s lead at the top of the table to seven points, while Chennaiyin remains in 10th place. The ISL season continues to heat up as the playoff race intensifies.
