Inter Kashi began brightly. Inside the opening minute, Tomba Singh tested Odisha goalkeeper Amrinder with a powerful low strike from distance, drawing a sharp save.
Odisha responded around the 15-minute mark when Rahul KP fired over from long range following a quick transition initiated by Lalthathanga Khawlhring. Soon after, Suhair headed over from close range from a set-piece delivery by Isak Vanlalruatfela.
Midway through the first half, Thoiba Singh earned a free-kick on the right and later headed narrowly wide from Khawlhring’s delivery. Suhair again failed to hit the target from another set-piece opportunity. At the other end, Planas saw a close-range effort blocked by the defence.
Just before halftime, Vanlalruatfela tested Lluis Tarres with a low drive from distance, but the Inter Kashi goalkeeper gathered comfortably.

In the 73rd minute, Danu dragged a shot wide after being picked out by Prasanth Mohan. Deep into stoppage time, he attempted another strike from distance that sailed just over the crossbar.
Both teams pressed in the closing stages, with Inter Kashi creating the more threatening moments. However, neither side found the finishing touch as the points were shared.
