Punjab FC soared to the top of the points table with a 2-0 win over Hyderabad FC in their third game of the Indian Super League season. On a night when the Shers’ finishing was not top-notch, it was a moment of magic that gave Punjab FC the lead. 

The Shers broke the deadlock in the 35th minute through some Ezequiel Vidal brilliance. The Argentine scored his first ISL goal from a direct free kick from 25 yards away. The striker’s curling left-footer bulged the net through the hands of Arshdeep to give the home side the lead and they maintained the lead into the half-time whistle.
