Josep Gombau's Odisha FC ransacked a completely hapless NorthEast United FC in their tournament opener of the Durand Cup 2022. The Kalinga Warriors doled out a thumping 6-0 defeat to the Highlanders.
Despite having a home support, Odisha played with ease and confidence. The first half saw 25-year-old Jerry score a brace with winger Nandhakumar joining the score sheet with a brilliant curling effort.
The remaining three goals were scored in the final ten minutes of the second half, which was also dominated by the visiting team. New signing Diego Mauricio got himself a goal with sumptuous free-kick with youngsters Isak and Thoiba scoring the other two.

He had an open goal did Jerry, but he hits the woodwork instead. That should have been put in. BAD MISS this from Odisha.

37' - GOAL NUMBER 3, ODISHA!
This is all too easy for Odisha FC at the moment. Striker -> Left Winger -> Right Winger -> Scores. The trio of Pedro, Nandha and Jerry have completely destroyed the Northeast United defence and they have no answers.
A brace already for Jerry this evening, while Nandha adds an assist to his name.

25' - ODISHA EXTEND THEIR LEAD!
This was brilliant from Odisha FC. Their goalkeeper with a pin-point pass to Nandhakumar in the left flank. Nandha dribbles past one defender, fools the other and takes a shot.
The shot is beautifully timed and angles in just at the right time to go in at the far post.
