JAMSHEDPUR: Odisha FC defeated Jamshedpur FC 3-2 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

The Juggernauts have climbed to the sixth spot with 33 points now, but their league campaign has wrapped up. For their playoffs chances, Odisha FC are now reliant on Mumbai City FC, placed seventh with 33 points.

The Islanders will need to lose their remaining two matches for the Juggernauts to remain in the reckoning for the sixth spot.

Odisha FC struck in the 21st minute. A quick passing move initiated from the backline culminated with Hugo Boumous delivering a lethal final pass to Dori at the centre of the 18-yard box, which the attacker seamlessly deposited into the bottom left corner with his right foot to deliver a neat finish. Odisha FC doubled their lead through a strike by Boumous in the 37th minute.

That did not deter Odisha FC from exploring their chances extensively, as the consequence of a corner kick saw Rahul KP trust Boumous with a pass outside of the box. Boumous picked the ball with his left foot and managed to land it into the bottom left corner to bag his brace and Odisha FC’s third goal of the night in the 53rd minute of the match.

Jamshedpur FC pulled one back in the 84th minute when Odisha Goalkeeper Amrinder Singh picked up a yellow card for a foul, which was followed by Jordan Murray embracing spot-kick duties and converting his penalty by hammering the ball into the top right corner.

This was followed with Muhammed Uvais delivering a superb lateral ball for the towering Stephen Eze to head into the bottom right corner of the net in the added time of the second half.

Jamshedpur FC are playing Chennaiyin FC on March 9.
