Indian Super League: Punjab FC continue their winning start to the season with a 2-1 win over Odisha FC, in their first home game of the 2024/25 season of the Indian Super League (ISL), at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Friday.

In the absence of their talismanic captain Luka Majcen, who is out with injury after his collision with Kerala Blaster’s Rahul K.P. in their opening game, new arrivals Nihal Sudheesh and Leon Augustine provided the goals for the side and despite conceding a late consolation goal which was an own goal by goalkeeper Ravi Kumar, Odisha remained winless this season.

Punjab FC were the better side in the opening minutes, winning the loose balls and putting pressure on the Juggernauts.
