ISL 2023-24: Mohun Bagan Spice Up Fight For League Shield With Narrow Win Against Punjab FC
Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Dimitrios Petratos scored the lone goal as Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) defeated Punjab FC 1-0 as the Mariners kept afloat their hopes of clinching the League Winners Shield of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.
Petratos's strike in the 42nd minute, which made him the outright highest goal-scorer for the Mariners in the ISL history, ensured that the Antonio Lopez Habas-coached side suffered no more hiccups in catching up to the top-placed Mumbai City FC. With this defeat, Punjab FC have effectively crashed out of the race to qualify for the playoffs. They remain in 10th position with 21 points from 21 matches.
The Kolkata-based team now has 42 points in 20 games, two behind the Islanders (44), and hence the Mariners have all to play for especially considering that the two teams clash on the final day of the league stages on April 15 at the Salt Lake Stadium.
