After making a solid start to the campaign, Odisha FC will face Kickstart FC in their second game in the Indian Women’s League 2023 season.
The Juggernauts began their campaign with an impressive victory against CRPF FC in which they scored half a dozen goals keeping a clean sheet. Grace, Cynthia, Faustina, Lynda, Bala, and Jasoda all found the back of the net.
Cynthia provided the assist for the first goal, while Faustina scored off a ball that fell on her way ricocheting off Bala, and Lynda tapped in a fourth after Cynthia’s run down the right wing found her with a dink over the onrushing defender. Captain Bala found the net with a magnificently looped ball over the goalkeeper, and Jasoda wrapped up the proceedings after great wing play from Faustina to set her up assisted by a dummy from Bala in the box. The Eastern Dragons dominated the game and continued to assert their influence until the final whistle.
