Durand Cup: ISL Sides Punjab FC, NorthEast Start Campaigns On Winning Note

By IANS News July 30, 2024 • 23:44 PM View: 181
Indian Army Football Team: Indian Super League (ISL) teams Punjab FC and NorthEast United started their respective campaigns in Durand Cup 2024 on a positive note, registering solid wins. Punjab defeated CISF Protectors 3-0 in Kolkata while NorthEast United handed Bodoland FC a 2-0 defeat in an all-Assam derby at the SAI Stadium in Kokrajhar.

A couple of strikes from Punjab FC’s star Slovenian striker Luka Majcen, and a late penalty from Vinit Rai, were enough for the Shers to put it across the CISF Protectors, in Group C’s opening game of the ongoing Durand Cup at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan.

Punjab were dominant throughout and never looked like conceding, however, they were also wasteful, which their new Greek coach Panagiotis Dilmperis, will look to improve upon as the tournament progresses.
