Bengaluru FC were held to a 1-1 draw by Odisha FC in an intense Indian Super League clash after dominating possession but failing to convert chances.
Coach Pep Muñoz reshuffled his lineup due to injuries and saw Bengaluru control over 80% possession in the opening phase. However, Odisha struck first in the 34th minute when Rahim Ali capitalised on a defensive lapse.
Goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu kept Bengaluru alive with crucial saves, while Rahul Bheke hit the post in the second half. Despite relentless pressure, Odisha’s defence stood firm to secure a valuable point.
