Late own goal hands Punjab FC a narrow win over Chennaiyin FC

NEW DELHI: (May 6) Punjab FC secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chennaiyin FC in their Indian Super League encounter, here on Wednesday.

An unfortunate late own goal by Chennaiyin FC midfielder Lalrinliana Hnamte in the 84th minute proved to be the sole difference in a tightly-contested affair.

The result rewards the hosts for their attacking persistence, while the Marina Machans were left frustrated after a solid defensive display was undone in the closing stages.
