Nandhakumar Sekar continued his impressive form as he scored his 4th goal of ISL 2022-23. Odisha FC had scored their first goal against NorthEast United FC in the 25th minute itself. However, the Highlanders levelled the square in the second half in the 60th minute. Roccharzela, who was brought in as a substitute scored the goal for NorthEast United FC.
However, things again went out of hand for the Highlanders when Jerry Mawihmingthanga scored the second goal for the Juggernauts and put them in pole position in the game.

On the other hand, there are contrasting fortunes for NorthEast United FC. They have failed to open their winning account in ISL 2022-23 and have lost 8 matches on the bounces.

It’s a double-header Saturday today and there will be two matches played. In the first game, Chennaiyin FC cross swords with Hyderabad FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. In the second game, Bengaluru FC will be hosting ATK Mohun Bagan at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. Both the matches promise to be riveting contests.
