Odisha FC  played out a 2-2 draw against Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Thursday. After this draw, Odisha FC interim coach Gerry Peyton feels that they could have won the game as they fought till the last minute of the match.

Peyton said, "I think we had a game plan. We stuck to the plan and that enabled us to pinch the game in the end. We had two massive chances. Jacob (Tratt) had one from the corner. Brad (Inman) had one where he could have hit it out of the goalkeeper's reach. But he hit it well. We could have stolen the game." He further added, "I never give up on anything. In the last game, the penalty, we lost our way a little bit. But when I got back in the dressing room. I spoke to them the next day in the briefing. I said listen, boys, we never stop playing football, if it's 95 minutes or 97, we give our everything. We could have stolen the game because we kept going."

Talking about the game, Odisha's Diego Mauricio (45', 74') scored goals while Jordan Murray (52) and Gary Hooper (68') netted goal for Kerala. Kerala desperately needed a win to revive their playoff hopes but couldn't find a way past Odisha, a side they are yet to beat. With this draw, Kerala are now level on points with SC East Bengal, who have a game in hand.
