ISL 2026: Late own goal sees Chennaiyin fall to 1-0 defeat against Punjab

Chennai, May 6 (UNI) Chennaiyin FC suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Punjab FC in the Indian Super League 2026 on Wednesday, undone by a late own goal despite showing sustained attacking intent throughout the contest.
Earlier, head coach Clifford Rayes Miranda recalled midfielder Mohammed Ali Bemammer to sit alongside skipper Alberto Noguera in the middle, while PC Laldinpuia joined Pritam Kotal in defence. Lalrinliana Hnamte accompanied Farukh Choudhary, Irfan Yadwad, and Daniel Chima Chukwu in attack.
Eleven minutes in, Pritam produced an outstanding goal-line clearance early on to keep the scores level. Laldinliana Renthlei followed it up with a crucial block to deny a clear sight of goal, as the Marina Machans stood firm against early pressure. At the other end, Chennaiyin carved out a promising 3v2 situation, but Hnamte's heavy touch let the opportunity slip. Chima was also presented with a half-chance soon after, only for the Punjab defence to recover in time.
