Punjab FC Sweep Past Mohammedan SC to Strengthen Semi-Final Push
Punjab FC produced a dominant display to defeat Mohammedan Sporting 3-0 in their AIFF Super Cup 2025-26 Group C clash at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim. The result puts Punjab FC on six points from two matches, taking them a step closer to booking a place in the semi-finals.
The game started at a high tempo, with Punjab quickly taking control of possession and dictating play. Their attacking intent paid off in the 26th minute when Ninthoinganba Meetei opened the scoring after being set up by a clever pass from Daniel Ramirez. The early goal gave Punjab the momentum they needed, and they continued to create chances at will.
Just before half-time, the lead was doubled. A pinpoint cross from Khaiminthang Lhungdim found Samir Zeljković unmarked inside the box, and the midfielder calmly slotted home to make it 2-0. The Mohammedan defence struggled to contain Punjab’s sharp movement and passing rhythm.
In the second half, Punjab maintained their grip on the game, pressing high and moving the ball with confidence. Their dominance was rewarded once again in the 72nd minute when Manglenthang Kipgen finished off a neat team move to seal the 3-0 victory.
Mohammedan Sporting had few answers to Punjab’s control and energy. Their attacks were limited, and goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh enjoyed a relatively quiet night as Punjab’s defence stayed compact and composed.
With this convincing win, Punjab FC have firmly established themselves as one of the tournament’s strongest sides. Sitting on six points from two games, the lions are now within touching distance of the semi-finals, displaying the quality, balance, and hunger needed to go all the way.
