PFC 1-0 HFC, ISL 2024-25 Live Score: Punjab And Hyderabad Shake Up Their Lineups With Double Substitutions

In the 58th minute, both PFC and HFC made tactical changes. PFC brought on Leon Augustine and Ricky Shabong, replacing Pulga Vidal and Vinit Rai. Meanwhile, Hyderabad introduced Abhijith PA and Allan de Souza, who took the places of Cy Goddard and Ayush Adhikari.

54' Hyderabad FC fails to equalize as Chhunga's free kick from 25-30 yards hits the wall.

The referee blew the half-time whistle with both teams having their chances to find the net. The first opportunity went to Bakenga, who, after a swift PFC counter-attack, couldn't keep his shot on target as he drifted too wide.

Moments later, Leander D'Cunha attempted a strike from outside the box but missed the mark, despite Rabeeh’s impressive run down the right flank that created space in the PFC area. Punjab are leading but we are ready for more.

45+3' Three minutes of stoppage time added while HFC are looking for a way into the Punjab box for an equaliser but are at risk of getting caught on the break.

Crucial block by Rafi here. In the 40th minute, Rafi stepped up to block Bakenga's shot, deflecting it away from the HFC goalkeeper after Pulga Vidal delivered a perfectly timed through.

Ezequiel Vidal of Punjab FC showcased his skill with a brilliant left-footed free kick, sending the ball to the bottom left corner of the net. AND IT IS A GOAL FOR PUNJAB.

Pulga Vidal sets up wonderfully for Nihal Sudesh and he takes a long shot but Hyderabad keeper is not there to just stand, Arshdeep Singh makes a cool save.

In the 14th minute, Hyderabad's Leander received a yellow card for a high boot that caught PFC's Ezequiel Vidal in the face. The match is paused briefly as Vidal receives medical attention for a nosebleed.

Just when it looked like we were about to get an early goal, they missed -- hitting the side of the goal post. A big chance wasted. Mushaga Bakenga of Punjab FC headed it from the right side of the six-yard box after a corner kick.

And the play begins with crowd cheering loud. The stadium is still a little empty but the enthusiasm is houseful.

The players are walking onto the field with their escorts, and play is about to begin. And we are here done with the national anthem.

We know Punjab is playing -- the stadium is buzzing with Punjabi hits, and the atmosphere feels like a concert.

The stadium’s starting to fill up as people take their seats. Delhi, where are you? Your neighbour are playing at their home stadium -- let’s cheer for both teams loud and proud.

What's Up Delhi! We’re live from the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, bringing you all the action as it happens. The players are warming up, and so is the venue. Ready to go? We sure are.

Victories in their last three Indian Super League matches meant that Punjab FC have now secured their longest winning streak in the tournament. However, they will need to be defensively solid as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six matches, highlighting their weakness. However, they will be itching to go after accumulating six points in two matches this season. 

The Indian Super League between Punjab FC and Hyderabad FC will kick off at 7:30pm IST, and can be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website in India. It will be live telecast on the Sports18 network in India.
