Roundglass Punjab had most of the possession during the ninety minutes and dominated the game from the start. Punjab were on the verge of scoring in the eleventh minute but Rajasthan goalkeeper Vishal Jun came to the rescue as Ashish Jha was accusing them.
Rajasthan’s resistance could only last so long as Kurtis Guthrie took advantage of a mix between June and Anil Chavan in the 27th minute to push the ball over the goalkeeper to take the lead. It was also the first open-play goal of the season.
Going into half-time, Roundglass Punjab FC put Rajasthan United FC ahead by a goal. It seemed a one-sided affair but Rajasthan still had a chance with a close score. The second half started with another attacking bounce from the Punjab team as they continued their hunt for another goal.
Punjab coach Ashley Westwood was shown a yellow card in the 65th and some heated words were exchanged off the pitch between the referee and the bench players, some people in the stands were also shown a red card as play was halted . Punjab midfielder CK Vineet too had to walk off the bench after being shown a red card in the 68th minute.
Punjab had another big chance in the 76th minute, as Akash Sangwan’s substitute scored a perfect cross to find Curtis Owen, who leapt but was not able to score. In the 84th minute, a brilliant delivery from Joseba Bettiah saw another big opportunity off Travis Major, but the Australian forward just failed to score.
In the end, Punjab found their second goal of the match in the 90th minute as Mahesun Singh Tongbram’s corner saw Sangwan guide it towards goal and Afoba Singh Ashangbam made the final touch on the ball to seal the game for his team. .
