Punjab FC were held to a goalless draw by Tiddim Road Atheltic Union (TRAU) FC at the Khuman Lampak Stadium in Imphal on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides had enough chances to score but lack of quality in the attacking third did not help their cause.
TRAU had a new head coach in Dimitris Dimitriou and in his first match he did not want to make many changes to the side that earned a point against Real Kashmir. A single alteration was made as striker Abednedo Tetteh came in to replace Krishnananda Singh.
