The 5-0 win helps the side consolidate its position at the top of the table
Hyderabad FC breezed to a 5-0 victory against NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Monday. The win boosted the team’s tally to 26 points from 14 games and extended its lead at the top to four points above the second-placed Jamshedpur FC (22 from 12).
Bartholomew Ogbeche’s brace helped him become the highest goal-scorer in ISL history with 49.
Ogbeche gave HFC the lead as early as the third minute after a well-worked corner routine. Joel Chianese played a short pass to Akash Mishra, who returned the ball to Chianese. A good ball inside the box by Chianese reached Joao Victor whose header hit the post. The rebound fell to Ogbeche who made no mistake.
