“Boys did very well” Odisha FC assistant coach Anshul Katiyar after the win
After sacking head coach Kiko Ramirez abruptly, the reigns were handed over to his deputy Kino Sanchez. However, the Spaniard wasn’t available for the match today and Indian assistant coach Anshul Katiyar handled the proceedings. Leading the team in his first ever ISL game was a good start for him as the team picked up all three points.
Speaking about his experience, the coach said:
Daniel Lalhlimpuia scored an ISL goal after a long wait of 3 years. It was a big moment for the forward and Odisha FC supporters as it marked the return of the 24-year old on the scoreboard. The coach expressed his happiness for Daniel and talked about the importance of more Indian players scoring.
