After a tightly contested first half, Punjab FC produced a decisive burst of attacking football in the second period, scoring three goals within ten minutes to seal the title in style.

The defending champions dominated possession early on, dictating the tempo and creating multiple chances. Vishal Yadav and Sameer both tested Zinc’s goalkeeper Smarnik Thapa, who made crucial saves to keep his side level. Satnam Singh also came close from a set-piece, but his header was brilliantly denied. Zinc FA had moments of their own through set-pieces, though their efforts failed to trouble the Punjab defence.

The breakthrough arrived in the 69th minute when Karish Soram curled a stunning free-kick into the top corner after Vishal Yadav was fouled just outside the box.

Punjab doubled their lead almost immediately. A defensive error from Zinc allowed Vishal Yadav to intercept the ball high up the pitch, and the captain calmly finished to make it 2-0.

The result was put beyond doubt in the 79th minute when Thongram Rishikanta Singh completed a well-worked move, finishing confidently after being set up by Moirangthem Sayonba Singh.

Punjab FC controlled the closing stages with composure, seeing out the game comfortably to lift the trophy once again. The victory highlights their dominance at the youth level, as they retain their title in front of their home supporters with an impressive performance.
