However, Thoi Singh equalised late in the second half to ensure both teams shared the points.

Inter Kashi and Odisha FC Create Early Chances

Both teams looked to score early and tested each other’s defences during the opening stages. Inter Kashi created opportunities through Sajad Parray and Wayne Vaz in the first 15 minutes. Parray attempted a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area, but his effort went wide of the target. Vaz also failed to find the net after receiving a pass from Jitendra Singh. Odisha FC responded by creating chances at the other end. Rahim Ali tried to score from the left side of the penalty area in the 22nd minute, but Inter Kashi’s defence blocked his attempt. The visitors continued to threaten through set pieces as the first half progressed. Rahim had another chance during stoppage time but sent his shot wide. Neither team managed to break the deadlock before half-time, with the score remaining 0-0.

Pratik Chaudhari’s Own Goal Gives Odisha the Lead

Inter Kashi began the second half with greater attacking intent. Rosenberg Gabriel and Wayne Vaz both attempted to trouble Odisha’s defence, but the visitors successfully blocked their efforts. Odisha eventually took the lead in the 56th minute through an unfortunate moment for Inter Kashi. Defender Pratik Chaudhari inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, giving the visitors a 1-0 advantage. Odisha then looked to extend their lead and nearly found a second goal in the 76th minute. Mahmoud Eid connected with a pass from Lalrinfela Khiangte and attempted to capitalise on the opportunity. However, Inter Kashi goalkeeper Albino Gomes produced an important save to deny Eid and keep his team within reach of an equaliser.

Thoi Singh Secures Late Equaliser for Inter Kashi

Inter Kashi continued to push forward in search of a goal, and their efforts finally paid off in the closing stages of the second half. Following a set-piece situation, Thoi Singh found space in the centre of the penalty area. He then struck a left-footed shot into the bottom-left corner to make it 1-1 and bring Inter Kashi back into the contest. The equaliser gave the home side renewed momentum as they chased a late winner. Aritra Das attempted to score directly from a free kick during the closing stages, but his effort sailed high and wide. Neither team could find another goal before the final whistle. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Inter Kashi recovering from an own goal to claim a valuable point against Odisha FC.
