Inter Kashi earned their first point of the 2026-27 season on Saturday 17 October, drawing 1-1 with Odisha FC at Balewadi, Pune, thanks to a late Thoi Singh equaliser.
First half: Kashi probe, Odisha threaten
Kashi started brightly, with efforts from Sajad Parray (a left-footer from outside the box that went wide) and Wayne Vaz, who missed the target after a set-up by Jitendra Singh. Odisha's Rahim Ali had a shot blocked in the 22nd minute and fired wide in stoppage time. It was 0-0 at the break.
Second half: own goal, then a late rescue
Kashi pressed after the restart, but Odisha went ahead in the 56th minute when Pratik Chaudhari put the ball into his own net. In the 76th minute goalkeeper Albino Gomes kept his side in the game with a save from Mahmoud Eid. With time running out, Aritra Das's free-kick sailed over, but a set piece led to the equaliser: Thoi Singh found space in the middle of the box and finished left-footed into the bottom-left corner in the 89th minute.
