Girish Ernak had a good day in office as he scored 5 points against U Mumba.

In a low-scoring encounter, it was the defense of the Puneri Paltan that gave them the push towards victory.

Puneri Paltan's captain and their defensive spearhead, Girish Maruti Ernak was in terrific form against U Mumba, as he stopped Siddharth Desai, U Mumba's raiding juggernaut, to run away with the game with his precise and strong tackles.

His decisive dash against Abolfazl Maghsoudlou to effect a single-handed Super-Tackle displayed the strength he packs in and the momentum he gains on his runs.

He was rested in Pune's last home match and would be raring to feature in their upcoming match against the Gujarat Fortunegiants and continue his splendid form in order to maintain his position at the top of Highest Tackle points list.
