52' - Nishu Kumar does extremely well on the left flank to fight for the ball and keeps the possession. He sends in a pass into the middle towards an onrushing Sunil Chhetri, who cannot control the ball and blasts it over.

47' - MISS! Jerry outpaces Ashique and Nishu at the back to get hold of the ball on the right flank and sends in a brilliant cross in the middle and the ball whizzes past Aridane's forehead. How has he not connect with that ball? That was sensational from Jerry!

The second half of Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC gets underway with the visitors leading 1-0 at the Sree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune. Juanan's goal is the difference so far.

Here are some of the statistics from the first half of Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC, which ended with the visitors leading 1-0.

Half Time! Odisha FC 0-1 Bengaluru FC

HALF TIME! Bengaluru FC have a 1-0 lead over Odisha FC after 45 minutes of play, courtesy Juanan. Udanta had the golden chance to add to the tally but could not do the same and thus the game has only a single goal to show so far. Odisha FC played a good game for the first half an hour but then made a couple of individual errors to lose the initiative and Bengaluru took full advantage of the same.

It's been a cagey affair so far, but Juanan's finish past the half-hour mark is the difference here at the Balewadi as the sides head into the tunnel. #OFCBFC #WeAreBFC pic.twitter.com/LNdIBuA1xy

44' - What was Udanta thinking there? A mistake in passing from Delgado and Chhetri latches on it and gets the ball and moves up, he turns around with two defenders at him and passes to Udanta on his right. Despite clear sight at goal, Udanta does not go for goal and instead tries to pass back to Chhetri and the chance is gone. Cuadrat cannot believe it!

Odisha FC 0-1 Bengaluru FC

37' - GOAL! Juanan scores for Bengaluru FC in a bizarre manner. Eric Paartalu battles for the ball on the right and Juanan makes a run into the box like a striker. Paartalu heads the ball towards Juanan, who gets a slight touch to the ball. The ball rolls past Arshdeep in the goal to hit the inside of the far post and trickle over the goal line.

Odisha FC 0-1 Bengaluru FC

36' GOAAAALLL!!! Erik nods it into the path of Juanan, who chests it down exquisitely and slides home a finish through the legs of an Odisha defender to make it 0-1. What a strike! #OFCBFC pic.twitter.com/WwL4ubsEJJ

32' - Odisha have been more than just troublesome for Bengaluru FC. The home side has created more clear cut opportunities for themselves than the defending champions but it's their same old story repeating - no finish.

Odisha FC 0-0 Bengaluru FC

24' - Excellent move from Bengaluru FC! Khabra takes the ball at the back and runs forward with it. With Udanta running on his right, he makes a fabulous through pass for the Indian international, who control the ball with the pace and sends in the middle. Chhetri comes in running but is unable to get a decent contact on it and the ball flies over.

Odisha FC 0-0 Bengaluru FC

15' - Excellent counter attack from Odisha FC! Nandha receives a good lob outside the box and turns around with the ball and goes for a shot but Gurpreet Singh Sandhu sends the ball out for the corner.

Odisha get close again but are unable to find the back of the net from the corner, a miss from Jerry.

15' SAVE! Nandhakumar is played through with a lofted ball from Tebar and the winger cuts in past Nishu before taking a swipe that has Gurpreet stretching to tip away. 0-0. #OFCBFC

5' - It's a pretty even game early on with both teams having a fair share of possession. Both teams like to play with the ball in the middle of the park, which makes this one an interesting battle.

Odisha FC 0-0 Bengaluru FC

Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC gets underway at the Sree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune. While Odisha FC are looking for their first win after three draws on the trot, Bengaluru FC will want to be back to winning after a last minute draw vs Hyderabad FC in their previous game.

We have to finish those games well. We have not been good enough in certain aspects, and we have to work on that. I am not worried about not getting goals. Sunil is an experienced player.
