Here are the details for matchweek 6 of ISL 2024-25 with the latest match report coming first.


Punjab FC 3 - 2 Chennaiyin FC

(Luka Majcen 46' 48', Asmir Suljic 70' - Wilmar Jordan Gil 30', 90'+9')

Panagiotis Dilmperis' Punjab FC returned to winning ways with a superb 3-2 win at home to Chennaiyin FC. The hosts climbed to third in the table, with Owen Coyle's CFC remaining in the last playoff spot.

It was Chennaiyin who surprised Punjab with the opening goal, as Wilmar Jordan Gil ran onto a superb defence splitting pass from Lukas Brambilla and finished with aplomb on the half hour mark. Punjab then equalized just 37 seconds into the second half, as Luka Majcen was found by a clever through ball from Filip Mrzljak and angled a low drive across goal into the bottom corner.

The comeback was complete two minutes later as Pulga Vidal ran into the box from the right and found Majcen with a low cross, as the striker opened his body up and angled a first-time finish into the bottom corner. Punjab made certain of the points in the 70th minute, as Mushaga Bakenga controlled a long ball forward, before squaring it to an unmarked Asmir Suljic in the box, and he made no mistake, making it 3-1 to the hosts. Jordan Gil scored a late consolation in injury time, as a cross was spilled into his path and he scrambled it home. It mattered not, as Punjab held on to the win.


Hyderabad 0 - 2 Mohun Bagan

(Manvir 37', Bose 56')

A resurgent Hyderabad FC ran into the might of Mohun Bagan in a match that saw the defending league shield winners run out 2-0 winners. Manvir Singh rounded Hyderabad keeper Lalbiakhlua Jongte after being put through one-on-one by a superb Anirudh Thapa pass to open the scoring before Subhasish Bose ghosted in at the far post to nod home a sensational Greg Stewart freekick to make it two.

Hyderabad continued to push for a goal back, but ran into an inspired Vishal Kaith and a disciplined Bagan back-line. Lenny Rodrigues's long ranger that kissed the bar was as close as they would come, though, as Bagan closed out the match to move second in the table, three points behind Bengaluru FC. Hyderabad remain 11th.
