HALF TIME
Odisha FC have started the Hero Super Cup 2023 final with flying colours. With their goals from Diego Mauricio, the Juggernauts now have a one hand on the trophy. Interestingly, the Blues have had more of the ball in the first 45 minutes but have failed to get one shot on target.
Odisha have been clinical in converting their chances, and hence have a considerable lead on Simon Grayson's men.
