Ezequiel Vidal, Luka Majcen and Mushaga Bakenga starred as Punjab FC handed Mumbai City FC their first home loss in nine matches with a 3-0 victory in their Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 match at the Mumbai Football Arena (MFA) on Tuesday night. A strike each by Vidal, Majcen, and Bakenga ensured smooth sailing for the visitors, who delivered outstanding performances in all concerned departments to keep the Petr Kratky-coached side at bay. 

Majcen was the architect of the initial two strikes, as he and Vidal combined deftly to land the first blow in the added time of the first half. The latter rushed near the Mumbai City FC box with a burst of space and found Majcen waiting at the edge of the box. His pass was well received and then sent back to him by Majcen, who perfectly spotted Vidal to be at the appropriate spot to unleash his thunderous left-footed effort.
