Source: ISL Mohun Bagan SG’s attacking talisman, Greg Stewart, currently back in Scotland for minor treatment, might have felt a pang watching his team take on Odisha FC from afar. In his absence, Bagan’s attack, though superior than their opponents, lacked its usual sharpness, falling short in the final-third without that lethal finishing touch. So far, Bagan have secured just one win against a top-ranked team, defeating North East United in a narrow victory. However, in a clash against table-toppers Bengaluru FC, the Mariners suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat. They have claimed convincing victories over the lower-ranked East Bengal FC, Mohammedan SC and Hyderabad FC. Yet, in all three matches, it was Stewart who played a pivotal role in the critical area just outside the opponent’s penalty box. Against Mohammedan Sporting and East Bengal, Stewart’s presence was evident as he tore through defences, but against Odisha FC, despite Dimi Petratos’ heavy workload across the pitch, that decisive edge in the final-third was missing. Without Stewart, even Jamie Maclaren struggled against Odisha. The Australian striker, who has netted two goals in five appearances so far, found limited delivery from the flanks or central areas. Petratos, Bagan’s standout performer over the past two seasons with 22 goals and 14 assists, has managed just one goal and two assists this term. Previously, Petratos was known for his incisive passes and long-range shots from outside the opponent’s penalty box, but this season he has yet to replicate that form. Head coach Jose Molina had discovered a promising combination between Maclaren and Stewart that worked well in the last three games, but with Stewart now nursing a knee injury, it remains uncertain if he will be back for Bagan’s next fixture against Jamshedpur on November 23. Meanwhile, Manvir Singh salvaged a point for Bagan by heading in a Petratos corner from a tight angle. At the beginning of this season, including the Durand Cup and the first three ISL matches, Bagan’s defence was a major concern. However, that issue has now eased somewhat, as Molina’s team has conceded just one goal in their last four games. Central defenders Alberto Rodriguez and Tom Aldred have been exceptional, thwarting attacks down the middle and proving nearly unbeatable in aerial duels, especially in set-pieces. Odisha FC’s Roy Krishna posed a challenge with his pace, occasionally slipping past the defence, but goalkeeper Vishal Kaith stood tall with some outstanding saves. The only lapse came from a misjudgement by Ashis Rai, who made a miskick inside the box towards Kaith, who opted to catch rather than clear it. This led to an indirect free kick in the six-yard box, which Hugo Boumous capitalised on from Ahmed Jahouh’s touch to find the back of the net. Molina made his first substitution in the 57th minute, a forced change due to Anirudh Thapa limping off and being replaced by Deepak Tangri. In the 77th minute, he brought on Sahal Abdul Samad and Jason Cummings for fresh energy, followed by Ashique Kuruniyan in the 88th minute. However, these changes came somewhat late and might have had more impact if introduced earlier. As Bagan prepare for their matches against Jamshedpur FC and Chennaiyin FC in the coming weeks, they face tricky challenges. Whether Stewart returns for the next game is uncertain, but in his absence, the Mariners will need to demonstrate the depth of a champion team, the one capable of thriving without being dependent on any single player.

[ad_1] MBSG’s Manvir Singh in action against OFC’s Isak Vanlalruatfela at Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar on Sunday (PC: ISL) Odisha FC held Mohun Bagan Super Giant to a 1-1 draw at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar in tonight’s Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 match. The hosts took an early lead with a goal from Hugo Boumous via an indirect free kick, but Manvir Singh equalized with a well-placed header later in the first half. Although both sides created several chances in the second half, neither could find a decisive goal. Odisha started energetically, winning an indirect free kick after Asish Rai’s back pass was picked up by goalkeeper Vishal Kaith. From just six yards out, Hugo Boumous converted to give the hosts a fourth-minute lead. Mohun Bagan immediately pushed forward, nearly leveling in the ninth minute when Dimitrios Petratos aimed directly at goal. Amrinder Singh, however, was quick to deflect the shot. The Mariners continued to press, and Roy Krishna almost scored on a pass from Saviour Gama, but Kaith’s quick reaction stopped the attempt. The visitors’ persistent attacks paid off in the 36th minute when Manvir Singh headed in a Petratos corner to level the score. Manvir timed his leap perfectly, catching the Odisha defense, including Amrinder, off guard.

Unsurprisingly, the national team’s ranking has also been an eyesore for years.

Hung Thinh Friendly Football Tournament: India suffer 0-3 defeat to Vietnam

Sep 28, 2022 09:11 IST New Delhi , September 28 (AF): India lost 0-3 to hosts Vietnam in their second and final match of the Hung Thinh Friendly Football Tournament at the Thing Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City. The match was held on Tuesday. The opening exchanges saw India get off on the front foot, winning the first corner of the game, one that Sunil Chhetri swung in for Anirudh Thapa, who was lurking inside the six-yard-box, but the ball evaded the latter. At the other end, Nguyen Cong Phuong of Vietnam was played into the Indian box on the left, and was looking to put in a dangerous cut-back, but Blue Tigers centre-back Sandesh Jhingan was on hand to avert the danger. The hosts did not take too long to jump into the lead when a clearance from a Vietnam corner fell kindly for Phan Van Duc, who did well to volley it home with his back turned towards the goal, giving his side the lead in the 10th minute. Despite the lead, Vietnam did not sit back, looking to score their second of the night, but that also created gaps at the back. Akash Mishra and Ashique Kuruniyan combined on the left to create a wonderful opportunity for India in the 26th minute. Mishra soared up the left and fed it through to Ashique in the box. The latter took a touch and sent in a left-footed volley which went wide. Minutes later, Ho Tan Tai whipped in a dangerous cross from the right towards Nguyen Tien Linh, but Chinglensana Konsham did well to get his body in the way and clear the danger. Sahal Abdul Samad had a great opportunity around the half-hour mark when Udanta played it to him inside the box, as he stepped past his marker and tried to cross it, but the ball went straight to Vietnam keeper Tran Nguyen Manh. Blue Tigers head coach Igor Stimac was forced into an early substitution when Sahal hobbled off with an injury, and was replaced by Rahul KP. India had their best chance of the first half with just about a minute of regulation time left on the clock, when an Akash Mishra cross from the left found an unmarked Sunil Chhetri inside the six-yard box. The India captain attempted to flick his header in off the far post, but missed by a mere whisker, as the referee soon blew his whistle signalling the lemon break. Vietnam made a couple of changes at the start of the second half, and it was second half substitute Nguyen Van Toan, who doubled their lead four minutes into the second half. Giving chase after an aerial ball, Van Toan barged past Indian centre-back Anwar Ali, entered the box, and slipped it into the bottom corner. Chances were few and far between for India against the confident hosts at the start of the second half, but a determined Udanta Singh, giving chase after the lost causes, nicked the ball on the left flank, squared it to Ashique, who crossed it in for Chhetri, but the ball was cut out. Stimac soon introduced some fresh legs into the fray, looking to change India's fortunes, as Brandon Fernandes, Liston Colaco, and Roshan Singh were brought on for Chhetri, Udanta and Chinglensana, with around 25 minutes of regulation time to go. While these substitutions did allow India to gain a bit more control of possession in the middle of the park, that also left spaces behind, which is exactly what Vietnam exploited in their third goal of the night. Bui Hoang Viet Ahn's cross from the right was headed clear by Jhingan, but Nguyen Van Quyet got on the stray ball and smashed it home. Gurpreet produced a couple of reflex saves to keep the score at 0-3, before India produced their best chance of the second half. Liston Colaco darted up the pitch on a counter attack, entered the box, and squared it towards an onrushing Rahul KP, who only had to turn it into an empty net, but could not reach the ball in time. India threw bodies forward in the closing stages, and a cross by substitute Brandon Fernandes directed towards Sandesh Jhingan inside the Vietnam box created some excitement, but the latter's header was straight at the keeper. With this result, India finish the Hung Thinh Friendly Football Tournament with one point, on the second spot, ahead of Singapore on goal difference. (AF) Read the full article
