I-League 2017/18: Minerva Punjab vs Churchill Brothers, 5 Talking Points

#4 Minerva let Churchill back courtesy some shoddy football

Churchill tried to get back into the match

For close to 20 minutes in the second half, Minerva Punjab took their foot off the pedal and let Churchill back into the game. The home side looked sluggish, conceded possession far too easily in dangerous areas and almost paid the price for their lack of concentration.

Dawda Ceesay came to life and created a host of problems for Minerva's back four. He pounced on every lose ball and tested the opposition keeper who did well to keep the Punjabi outfit in the game.

With a title on the line, it was rather surprising to see Minerva uninspired and flat. They had their keeper, Kiran Limbu to thank who put in a warrior like performance to deny Churchill Brothers. The visitors looked a completely different side in the second half and it made for an exciting final day clash.
