Odisha FC and ATK Mohun Bagan shared points for the second time in the Hero Indian Super League when a 10-men Mohun Bagan fought back from 1-0 down hold the Odisha side to 1-1 draw at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Goa today.

It was an unhappy throwback Thursday of sorts for the Mariners who were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Odisha FC in the first leg as well. Redeem Tlang (5th) opened the scoring for Odisha FC, who are already out of contention for a semifinal spot.

But Joni Kauko (8th P) made it 1-1 from the spot. The second half saw no goals from either side with Liridon Krasniqi finding the woodwork and Roy Krishna given the marching orders picking up two yellow cards.

The result means ATKMB remained in third place with 31 points, level with second-placed Jamshedpur FC, from 17 matches. Odisha too remained in seventh spot with 23 points from 18 games.

A win for the green and maroons would have taken them to second spot, and cut the gap with league leaders Hyderabad FC to two points with a game in hand.
