Sanathoi Singh’s stoppage-time strike hands them 2-3 defeat
Fatorda: Churchill Brothers were left empty-handed after Punjab FC scored in the final minute of stoppage time to secure a 3-2 victory in their Indian Super League.
Punjab opened the scoring when Messi Bouli converted from the spot after Bora brought him down inside the box.
Churchill responded in the 37th minute. Vincy Barretto’s low delivery fell to Sebastian Gutierrez, who flicked the ball past Arshdeep Singh to level the score.
Punjab restored their lead through Alfred Moya. Churchill kept pressing and were rewarded in the second minute of added time. Wayde Lekay’s effort was parried by Arshdeep, but Gutierrez was first to the rebound and tapped into an empty net for his second of the night.
With a point within reach, Churchill were undone moments later. Gurkirat Singh won a long ball, Messi Bouli controlled it before slipping a pass through to Konsam Sanathoi Singh, who finished calmly to snatch victory for Punjab.
