Indian Super League, Round 12
In spite of a dominant first-half performance, Hyderabad FC had to settle for a point against Odisha FC in Fatorda on Tuesday. We take a look at stats from a game that could have ended differently.
18 Crosses
Hyderabad looked to get behind the Odisha defence from the wide areas and put in 18 crosses in the game. Asish Rai put in five crosses himself and a couple of them could have easily ended in the back of the net.
12 Chances
In total, Hyderabad created 12 chances and could have converted most of them. But it’s noteworthy to remember that 8 of those 12 chances were created by Lluis Sastre and Liston Colaco.
17 Shots
We attempted a staggering 17 shots on Odisha’s goal but could get just five of them on target. Arshdeep Singh was in fine form for the visitors, saving four of those, that could have resulted in a different scoreline in the first half. In comparison, Odisha made 12 attempts but had six shots on target.
92% Pass Accuracy
Lluis Sastre had one of his best midfield performances against Odisha. He completed 59 passes out of 64. Hardly losing possession and keeping the ball rolling, Sastre was crucial to Hyderabad controlling the game in the first half.
29 Clearances
Hyderabad were decent in attack and put the Odisha backline under a lot of pressure. They forced 29 clearances from the visitors and could have easily run away with the game if they took their chances.
