ISL 2025-26: Bengaluru FC held to 1-1 draw by Odisha FC despite dominant display

By IANS News May 05, 2026 • 08:43 AM View: 110

Bengaluru FC’s clash against Odisha FC was a tale of territorial dominance punctuated by moments of clinical opportunism and agonizing near-misses.

Forced to adapt due to injuries to Ashique Kuruniyan and Nikhil Poojary, head coach Pep Muñoz handed starts to Sivasakthi Narayanan and Ricky Meetei, and the reshuffled Blues immediately took control. The opening 20 minutes was a masterclass in possession, with Bengaluru hogging over 80% of the ball, yet the breakthrough remained elusive as Braian Sanchez miscued a Ryan Williams lay-off and Sivasakthi fired a promising effort over the crossbar.
