Set-piece specialists Bengaluru just too good for Odisha

Erik Paartalu is the go-to player during dead-ball scenarios and he didn't disappoint...

Martin Perez Guedes could have been Odisha's hero in the 45th minute, just before the half-time whistle, in Wednesday's Indian Super League (ISL) fixture in Bengaluru. Bengaluru FC's defence, which has been brilliant overall this season, left the Argentinian midfielder unmarked at the far post for a Xisco Hernandez corner-kick.

Guedes hit the woodwork from only a few yards out and it was a turning point in the game. The score was 2-0 in favour of the hosts and Josep Gombau had lost key players Aridane Santana and Marcos Tebar to unfortunate injuries.
