Hyderabad beat Odisha 1-0 in their opening match of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) on Monday at the GMC Stadium, Bambolim.
Aridane Santana scored the only goal from a penalty in the 35th minute to secure a win for his new team.
Manuel Marquez’s side looked the more dominant side in the beginning and could have scored the opening goal within five minutes of the match had Aridane Santana been a little more clinical with his header. The Hyderabad skipper failed to convert a free-header from Lluis Sastre’s in-swinging corner from a very close range as the ball went wide.
