In the aftermath of Mumbai City FC’s semifinal defeat against Odisha FC in the Indian Super Cup, striker Jorge Pereyra Diaz’s wife, Mile D’Addetta, has taken to Instagram to express her frustration. The intense clash not only saw the defending ISL League shield winners endure a heartbreaking loss but also witnessed three red cards issued to their players in injury time, leaving Mumbai City FC with just eight men on the pitch.
The pivotal moment came with Brazilian striker Diego Mauricio’s penalty conversion, securing a 1-0 victory for Odisha FC and a spot in the Super Cup final.
D’Addetta’s Instagram story criticized the tournament, stating,
“It’s quite a circus! Everything is set for Odisha FC to emerge champion. This cup is a lie!”
The controversy adds intrigue to the upcoming Super Cup final, where Sergio Lobera’s Odisha FC is set to face Carles Cuadrat’s East Bengal FC. Both teams, in excellent form, promise an exciting clash in the grand finale at the Kalinga Stadium. East Bengal FC, having overcome Jamshedpur FC in the semifinals, seeks their first Super Cup crown, while Odisha FC aims to defend the title on their home turf.
As fans eagerly await the showdown, the question looms: Will East Bengal claim their first-ever Super Cup, or will Odisha FC secure another triumph in front of their passionate supporters? The football fraternity anticipates an electrifying contest to unfold on Sunday.
