This is also the third straight victory for Punjab away from home and the fourth win in six matches, continuing their good run of form.<\/p>\n
Punjab FC head coach Staikos Vergetis named an unchanged side from their last game against Mumbai City with the in-form trio of Luka Majcen, Madih Talal and Wilmar Jordan leading the attack.<\/p>\n
Punjab started the match extremely well, pressing hard and winning the ball in the midfield.<\/p>\n
They maintained possession and created better chances with Luka Majcen skying his shot over the crossbar.<\/p>\n
Wilmar Jordan\u2019s shot was then palmed away by goalkeeper Gurmeet Singh to safety.<\/p>\n
Midfielders Ricky Shabong and Madih Talal combined well and created space for Majcen and Jordan to trouble the NorthEast defence.<\/p>\n
NorthEast started the second half on the front foot taking the attack to Punjab but the away side soaked in the pressure and defended well.<\/p>\n
As the home side were trying to increase the pressure, Wilmar Jordan earned a penalty as his cross was handled inside the box by left wing back Tondonba Singh.<\/p>\n
The Colombian calmly converted the spot kick to score the winner.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
