Indian Super League: Mohammedan SC played out a 0-0 stalemate against Odisha FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Kalinga Stadium here on Friday. With this result, Odisha FC’s hopes of making it to the playoffs took a massive hit. They are in seventh place with 30 points from 23 games now, two behind the sixth-positioned Mumbai City FC (32), who have featured in 21 encounters thus far.

This is the second time the Juggernauts have dropped points against Mohammedan SC after a similar goalless result in the reverse fixture. Meanwhile, Amrinder Singh became the third goalkeeper to clock 50 clean sheets in ISL after Vishal Kaith and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

The hosts had the first chance of the game when Isak Vanlalruatfela found Rahim Ali on the right flank in space with a brilliant long ball a few minutes after kickoff. Rahim controlled it well, but with nowhere to go in the box; he squared it to an onrushing Diego Mauricio, who was in a better position to slot it home. However, the Brazilian forward didn’t get his connection right and skied it way over the target.
