What started as a promising afternoon for Minerva Punjab quickly turned into a tale of self-destruction at their home ground. Nsungusi Effiong's 27th-minute opener had given the hosts the perfect start, but his moment of madness three minutes into the second half - a violent conduct red card - completely shifted the momentum. Goa capitalized on their numerical advantage almost immediately, with Dejan Dražić finding the equalizer just five minutes after Effiong's dismissal. Despite Minerva's desperate attempts to find a winner through multiple substitutions, they couldn't break down a disciplined Goa defense that managed the game expertly with their extra man, leaving both sides to share the points in what was ultimately a missed opportunity for the Punjab outfit.
