Steven Dias, as usual, worked his way  down the right flank and found Mohammad Rafi just outside the box. The  striker sidestepped Anwar Ali, his marker, and then picked out  Lalrindika Ralte just inside the box to turn home with his right foot,  even as the entire Bagan defence just stood motionless and watched.<\/p>\n<p>Bagan  took that setback in their stride and continued attacking with Odafe  being a constant threat. Soon enough, Odafe sent a brilliant long ball  from one end to the other where Jewel Raja controlled it well but his  resultant half volley hit the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p>Bagan were not to be  denied a second time and equalised in the 19th minute when Syed Rahim  Nabi\u2019s measured cross was chested by Odafe and then drilled past rival  goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya.<\/p>\n<p>Odafe was again in the thick of  action but was distinctly unlucky as his stunning long ranger hit the  crossbar and rebounded back into play.<\/p>\n<p>Odafe then turned the  match on its head with two goals in as many minutes. In the 73rd minute,  an innocuous shot from him saw the ball wobble past Arindam and a  minute later he converted a penalty after Barreto was brought down  inside the box by Denzil Franco.<\/p>\n<p>Substitute Henri Autchouet  ensured there was life in the match after finding the back of the net in  the 81st minute but the Bagan defence did well to thwart the challenges  for the remainder of the match.<\/p>\n<p>Odafe Okolie was awarded man of the match for his outstanding performance.<br \/><strong><br \/>I-League: Salgaocar scrape past Mumbai FC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pune:  Ryuji Sueoka cut through the Mumbai FC defence to score the lone and  winning goal for Salgaocar SC, in their 14th round I-League football  championship match at the Balewadi Sports Complex on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The Goans made a sedate start to the match allowing Mumbai FC to  make some inroads, but openings were hard to come by despite concerted  efforts by captain Noel Wilson and his fellow midfielders Cavin Lobo and  Abhishek Yadav.<\/p>\n<p>This was third match at the Balewadi Complex in two days and it  seemed that the encounter was heading towards a draw before the Japanese  sensation drew the first blood in the 79th minute of the match.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes before Ebi Sukore and Gbemene Friday had given a  fright to Salgaocar when Cavin and Keegan Pereira worked the ball from  the middle to set up Ebi upfront. He went right into the box with Friday  in tow, but the two failed to get the opening as Vinay Singh blocked  their view and attempt.<\/p>\n<p>On the counterattack, Sueoka got the ball at half-line and he  seemed to looking for a striker up but instead made a sprint cutting  through Mumbai FC midfield before the fast approaching four defenders  were foxed with one clever tap.<\/p>\n<p>Sueoka turned and raced ahead to collect the ball and fire on the  left of the outstretched Ishan Debnath. The goal sent Goans into loud  celebrations as the defending champions finally broke into the 20-point  barrier.<\/p>\n<p>Salgaocar now have 22 points as does Prayag United SC but are  placed No 7 on goal difference. While Mumbai FC have 14 points from 14  matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Goa:<\/strong> Odafe Okile scored a hat-trick to give Mohun Bagan a win over Churchill Brothers in the 14th round I-league  clash at the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Odafe&#039;s fantastic three gives Bagan a win over Churchill Brothers - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
