ISL 2024-25: FC Goa Edge Past Punjab FC 1-0 To Bolster Second-place Hopes
Indian Super League: Carl McHugh scored the lone goal as FC Goa secured a 1-0 victory against Punjab FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday, cementing their claim on the second spot in the standings. The Gaurs moved to 45 points in 22 games as a consequence of this win, solidifying their grip on the second spot, which could guarantee them a straight semifinal berth.
They are now ahead of the third and fourth-placed Bengaluru FC and Jamshedpur FC, respectively, by eight points each, though the latter have three games in hand to cut that deficit. Punjab FC are in the 11th place with 24 points from 22 encounters.
FC Goa stepped in with intent, displaying fluidity in their gameplay both from open sequences and set-pieces. They produced a well-coordinated corner kick in the eighth minute as Borja Herrera’s precise delivery met Odei Onaindia on the far post. Onaindia, however, was positioned laterally, and hence, he didn’t go for a direct attempt at a goal, instead laying up a headed pass for Carl McHugh.
