Fijian Captain Roy Krishna’s Odisha FC has bowed out of the Indian Super League after losing the second leg of the semifinal 2-0 to his former club Mohun Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkota last night.
The Mariners produced a professional and clinical performance to defeat the Juggernauts by 3-2 on aggregate and storm into the summit clash of the competition for the second season in a row.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant will now play the ISL final on May 4 at the Salt Lake Stadium as they were the highest-ranked team from the league stages.
The Antonio Lopez Habas-coached side came into this match after a 2-1 loss to Odisha FC in the opening leg of their last-four match in Bhubaneswar.
Jason Cummings opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, whereas Sahal Abdul Samad sealed the game lock, stock, and barrel in the added time of the second half to cap off a compelling victory by Habas’ men.
Krishna, who netted a goal in the first leg, worked tirelessly in the decider but was well contained and not given much space to launch attacks on goal.
