Mohali, August 16:<\/strong> Punjab FC suffered their first setback in the 39th Punjab State Super Football League, going down 1-3 against Dalbir Football Academy in a hard-fought encounter here.<\/p>\n Dalbir FA struck first through Satvik Sharma in the 21st minute, putting the visitors ahead after a bright start. They doubled their advantage just before halftime when Amit Singh Chauhan found the net in the 42nd minute.<\/p>\n Punjab FC responded quickly, with Arshvir Singh pulling one back in first-half stoppage time (45+3\u2019) to keep the Shers in the contest heading into the break.<\/p>\n The second half saw Punjab FC pushing forward in search of an equaliser, but Dalbir remained resilient and punished on the counter. Gurjeet Singh restored the two-goal cushion with a decisive strike in the 78th minute, effectively sealing the result.<\/p>\n Despite Punjab FC\u2019s efforts to claw their way back, Dalbir FA\u2019s defensive organisation and clinical finishing proved the difference on the day.<\/p>\n The defeat is a reminder of the challenges ahead in the long league campaign, but Punjab FC will look to regroup quickly and bounce back stronger in their upcoming fixtures.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mohali, August 16: Punjab FC suffered their first setback in the 39th Punjab State Super Football League, going down 1-3 against Dalbir Football Academy in a hard-fought encounter here.
