(Football news) Odisha FC came from behind to score two late goals to seal a 3-2 win over last year's league winners Jamshedpur FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur. Daniel Chukwu and Boris Singh gave the hosts a two-goal advantage inside the opening ten minutes of the game. Diego Mauricio then bagged a brace, including the winner, and substitute Isaac got on the scoresheet to snatch all three points for Josep Gombau's side.

Torrential rain made sure that the kick off was delayed but didn't dampen Jamshedpur FC's spirits as they took the lead after just three minutes. Ricky Lallawmawma fired in a low cross from the left flank which was blocked by Thoiba Singh but the rebound fell to Daniel Chukwu as the Nigerian smashed the ball into the net with his left foot. In the tenth minute, Jamshedpur established a comfortable lead as yet again, it was Lallawmawma’s low cross from the left flank which caused trouble again as this time it was Boris Singh who managed to get on the end of it for a very easy tap-in at the far post.

Odisha reduced the deficit seven minutes later when Raynier Fernandes rolled the ball towards Diego Mauricio near the edge of the penalty box, the Brazilian curled and tucked his effort inside the far post to bring the scoreline to 2-1. Farukh Choudhary sprinted down the left flank and his cross found its way to Wellington Priori but the Brazilian's shot was brilliantly blocked by Amrinder Singh. Minutes later, Jerry Mawihmingthanga had the chance to equalise when he snuck inside the box from the right flank and took the ball on his left foot as he was inches away from curling the ball into the top-left corner.

In the 67th minute, Pedro Martin had a golden chance when he found himself in a one-on-one with TP Rehenesh as the Jamshedpur defence searched for an offside flag but the Spanish substitute saw his effort saved by the Keeper. Odisha FC substitutes Isak Vanlalruatfela and Isaac Chhakchhuak combined brilliantly on the right flank as Vanlalruatfe levelled the scores, with a rocket shot l into the back of the net. The comeback was complete in second-half stoppage time as the 21-year-old picked out Mauricio with an inch-perfect ball before the striker fired in his second of the night and the winning goal for Odisha FC.
