The Red Miners were the first team to replace their coach this season. They went with a rather unusual choice of Khalid Jamil to lead their team this season.

The Red Miners have managed to defeat quality opponents like Mumbai City FC and have made their intentions loud and clear. Any side aiming for the playoff spot in the ISL will have to deal with the Steelmen this season.
Punjab FC suffer a big loss at home
Punjab FC won their previous game 3-1 against Kerala Blasters in Kochi. It was one of the finest performances by any side in Kochi this season. Today though they faced a heavy defeat at home against the Red Miners.
The Shers got plenty of chances but failed to utilise them. Luka Majcen was guilty of failing to convert a penalty in the first half. His effort from 12 yards out was poor and it was saved easily by TP Rehenesh.
The likes of Luka, Jordan, and Ricky were guilty of squandering many chances and this impacted the result of the game.
