After a thrilling first five games, matchweek 2 of the the Indian Super League is underway, and it's done so with a hard-fought draw in Delhi. Here's a quick recap of how the fixtures from the second matchweek, with the latest match report up first.
Punjab FC 2-1 Odisha FC
Raphael Messi Bouli scored the winner with virtually the last kick of the game, as Punjab FC broke Odisha FC hearts to open their ISL campaign with a 2-1 win, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.
It was Messi Bouli's second goal that settled the game at the death, after he had got his first with less than a minute played. Punjab took the lead 42 seconds into the game, as a flowing team move from back to front ended with a perfect low cross from Muhammad Uvais to the big striker at the back-post, who rolled into an open goal from close range.
Punjab used that momentum to flood forward, and had a couple of other early chances through Alfred Planas, but it was Odisha who got the equaliser in the 15th minute. Thoiba Singh was left completely unmarked from a Puitea corner, and he headed into the bottom left corner, as Punjab goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh barely moved.
At the start of the second half, Punjab missed two huge chances, one a close range volley from Planas after a cross from Muhammad Suhail, and then Diego Raposo was denied by a superb Hrithik Tiwari save, after being sent through on goal by Ricky Shabong.
Odisha had a huge chance off a set-piece in the 80th minute, after Rahim Ali glanced on Puitea's corner to Stephen Eze, whose header was blocked by Messi Bouli.
In the end, Punjab will feel like their win was deserved, particularly given how much they created in the second half, and Messi Bouli has given them the three points in their opening game of the season.
