NorthEast United's Luis Machado, Federico Gallego make short work of ineffective Odisha

NorthEast United are now unbeaten in their last seven games...

While NorthEast United boss Khalid Jamil felt Odisha put up a fight in his team's 3-1 win in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Sunday, the game gave us a different picture.

Luis Machado picked up a brace and Deshorn Brown also scored in the first half itself to give the Highlanders a healthy lead going into the break. Bradden Inman netted a goal for Odisha before the break but NorthEast United survived their opponents' second-half pressure to seal a crucial win in the race for the playoffs.
