KOLKATA: The stakes were higher for Odisha FC going into Saturday’s Indian Super League (ISL) clash in Guwahati. But in search of gaining some lost momentum going into the all-important playoffs, the Juggernauts suffered another rude jolt while hosts NorthEast United restored their pride in the last outing of the season with a clinical 3-0 win at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium.
Parthib Gogoi, Nestor Albiach and Phalguni Singh scored one apiece inside the first 45 minutes to make it a memorable night for the Highlanders, who finished best among the ones finishing outside the top-six with playoff spots.
