Bengaluru FC were held to a 1-1 draw by Odisha FC in their Indian Super League match here on Monday, as Braian Sánchez’s second-half penalty cancelled out Rahim Ali’s opener in a closely contested match at PJN Stadium.

Despite dominating possession for large spells, the Blues were unable to break down a resolute Odisha defence and could only rescue a point. They remain sixth in the standings with 17 points from 11 matches, maintaining their unbeaten away record, while Odisha FC remain 13th with seven points from 10 matches.
