Konsam Sanathoi Singh found the net in the final minute of injury time as Punjab FC edged past Churchill Brothers 3-2 in an Indian Super League match here on Sunday.

Raphael Messi Bouli converted a penalty in the 13th minute to give Punjab FC the lead, but Sebastian Gutierrez equalised for Churchill Brothers in the 37th minute.

Punjab restored their advantage just three minutes later through Alfred Planas Moya.

Staying true to their late-winning habit from their previous two matches, Punjab FC struck again in the final minute of stoppage time, with Sanathoi scoring the decisive goal to secure all three points.

Head coach Pavlos Dermitzakis made three changes to the starting lineup, with Alfred Planas Moya coming in for Vishal Yadav while Manglenthang Kipgen made his first start of the season for the injured Diego Raposo. Bishu Sharma also made his first start for the club, replacing the injured Laishram Rishikanta Meitei.
