The match is scheduled to kick off at 8 pm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Shers put in a dominant display in the Round of 16 against the home side with Asmir Suljic, Ezequiel Vidal and Nihal Sudeesh scoring the goals. Iker Guarrotxena scored a hat trick for the Goan side and will be the main threat for Punjab\u2019s defence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking ahead of the game head coach, Panagiotis Dilmperis said, \u201cWe took our chances against Odisha and converted them. Odisha created a lot of chances against us, which would be the most by any team against us in the season and I would like that to be not repeated tomorrow against Goa.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked about the squad and the injury concerns, Dilmperis said, \u201cWe had some players who did not feature in the first match including Luka Majcen and Filip Mrzljak. They have trained ahead of the quarterfinals and we hope to have a full squad for tomorrow\u2019s match.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>FC Goa did the double over Punjab FC in the Indian Super League season winning 2-1 in Goa and 0-1 in New Delhi. Punjab will look to snap that record and get the better of their opponents and book their sport in the semi-finals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe played well against Goa in both the matches but could not get the desired results. We hope to keep playing like we did in the first game and get a win against them tomorrow,\u201d said Punjab FC youngster Muhammad Suhail F.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>FC Goa did the double over Punjab FC in the Indian Super League season winning 2-1 in Goa and 0-1 in New Delhi.
