Punjab FC Beat Aston Villa 2-0 To Round Off The Next Generation Cup Campaign
Premier League Next Generation Cup: The Indian sides wrapped up their Premier League Next Generation Cup 2024 campaign with Punjab FC securing a terrific 2-0 victory against Aston Villa FC on the final day of the competition. Muthoot FA and East Bengal FC finished sixth and eighth respectively, but Punjab FC earned a podium finish and won the hearts on the back of consecutive wins against Everton FC and Aston Villa FC. They dominated their third-place game right from kick-off and never gave Aston Villa a chance to crawl back into the proceedings.
Punjab FC’s Manglethang Kipgen scored a stunning goal in the 13th minute to continue his sublime run in the competition. Punjab FC is only the second Indian team after Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) to defeat two Premier League sides in a single edition of the Next Generation Cup.
Omang Dodum applied the finishing touches to the game with a brilliant strike in the 35th minute to double Punjab FC’s lead. An erroneous header attempt by Aston Villa gave Dodum a chance to make a run towards the goal and he found the back of the net with his immaculate finishing skills.
