90+7' Unbelievable! Punjab FC are just not able to find the net tonight! Daniel gets into a good position to shoot following a cross from the left! His effort is blocked but the ball ricocheted to Wilmar Jordan Gil to tap in but Saphaba makes a desperate dive to kill that angle! PFC 0-4 JFC

90+5' Let's take a moment to appreciate this Frenchman as you don't see someone score back-to-back freekicks unless you are prime Lionel Messi. Both the goals were perfect example of how to beat the wall and find the top corner, which is always out of a goalkeeper's reach once you clear the wall!

66' Sanan wins a corner for JFC right after his goal as the youngster looks pumped up!

63' That goal must feel like a heartbreak for Punjab FC, who kept missing the goal after creating chances galore since conceding early in the game.

Ravi Kumar blocked the effort but the loose ball fell to Sanan, who lobbed it into an empty net with Ravi Kumar off his line!

Punjab FC will look for a winning streak as they host Jamshedpur FC at the JLN Stadium in New Delhi in a crucial mid-table battle on Thursday (February 15). Tied at 14 points each and divided by a spot on goal difference, the two ISL clubs are hunting for the sixth spot in the ISL 2023-24, which is virtually the only remaining playoff spot with the top five having a league of their own.
Since the competition resumed late last month, the rookies to the league have become a formidable force. They defeated Kerala Blasters FC 3-1 in Kochi on Saturday, pulling off an incredible heist, and they have been greatly bolstered by Wilmar Jordan Gil, who plays up front.
In the front line, Gil, Madih Talal, and Luka Majcen have forged an incredible alliance that has allowed them to dominate opponents with a deft combination of inside-the-box ingenuity and brutal efficiency. In a similar vein, Jamshedpur FC has improved since strategist Khalid Jamil assumed leadership.
In their three games since the midway point of the ISL season, the Red Miners have drawn with Bengaluru FC and NorthEast United FC and won at home against Mumbai City FC. Jamshedpur FC's strong defense, deft wingers, and goal-scoring strikers have given them an advantage in this season and increased their chances of placing in the top six.
Fans can only hope for fireworks in this upcoming matchup between two recently emerging playoff candidates. This is the first time Staikos Vergetis' team has won two straight ISL games, and the strategist acknowledges that after the first few months, his players are more prepared to handle the demands of the top division.
