Mumbai City got the first real opportunity of the game in the 14th minute, as attacking midfielder Brandon Fernandes served an impeccable corner kick from the right side.

Instead of aiming to go deep inside the box, his delivery was targeted for Nikolaos Karelis in the near post, and the striker did well to get into an unmarked spot and adjust his position, but ended up hitting the bar.

Punjab FC had Luka Majcen break the deadlock in the added time of the first half.

The youngster displayed goalkeeping masterclass in the shoot-out, saving all four of Pakistan’s attempts after the match was drawn 1-1 in regulation time.

Majcen rushed ahead down the centre, passing the ball to Asmir Suljic, who took two touches, burst forward and attempted a slick through ball back for Majcen.

The striker picked up the ball and drilled it into the bottom right corner.
