Sadiku brace gives Mohun Bagan SG a point against Odisha

Armando Sadiku scored two goals in the second half, including the leveller in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to ensure Mohun Bagan Super Giant remained unbeaten in the ISL this season, with a 2-2 draw against Odisha FC.

Ahmed Jahouh scored twice in the first half to put Odisha in command, but unlike last week in the AFC Cup, Bagan didn't fold in the face of Odisha pressure, and produced an excellent comeback.

Ahmedabad Defenders lose Club World Championship opener

Prime Volleyball League champions Ahmedabad defenders lost their opening game in the Club World Championship in Bengaluru to Brazilian club Itambe Minas, going down in straight sets 22-25, 23-25, 19-25.


UP Yoddhas ease past Haryana Steelers

Raiders Pardeep Narwal and Surender Gill combined for 25 points between them as UP Yoddhas handed out a 57-27 thrashing to Haryana Steelers, for their first win of PKL 10.

The Steelers were never in the game, and had an all-out inflicted on them within the first ten minutes. It was all downhill right from the off, as Pardeep and Surender were ably supported by the Yoddhas' defensive unit, which completed 14 successful tackles, and allowed the Steelers only six raid points all game.


Patna Pirates thrash Telugu Titans

The most expensive player of PKL 10, Pawan Sehrawat, was left powerless as his team Telugu Titans were beaten by 22 points by the Patna Pirates. Sachin starred with 14 raid points for the Pirates, even as Pawan scored 11 of the 28 points that the Titans put on the board.

After a disappointing last season where they finished rock bottom, the Titans have begun the new campaign with two straight losses as well, but the Pirates showed no sign of missing Mohammedreza Shadloui Chiyaneh as Ankit in the left corner scored five tackle points, and was especially excellent against Pawan himself.
