Later today Air India take on Pune FC in a crucial Maharashtra derby in the I-League- Here the PFC TV preview of the match with statements from both sides.

Pune FC end ONGC's six month unbeaten I-League home run

Pune FC ended ONGC's fairytale run at home by edging past the latter courtesy a James Moga first half injury time goal in the I-League Round 24 clash at the Ambedkar Stadium here today.

This was ONGC's first loss in their own den since coach Santosh Kashyap took over the reins in November 2012. While ONGC dropped to the ninth spot with 30 points from 24 matches, Pune FC reclaimed their third position bagging 40 points from 22 outings.


The visitors had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the first minute itself. But Eric Brown saved the hosts' the blushes with his goalline clearance off a James Moga effort. Pune FC had the better of the exchanges from then on with Izumi Arata playing the role of a schemer to perfection. The Indian international was all around the park creating goalmouth chances aplenty for Moga and Douhou Pierre. One such move saw Pierre in the clear but his shot sailed over the bar. ONGC were uncharacteristically off colour at home where they have not lost since last November, a 2-4 against Air India. Their key Japanese playmaker Yusa Katsumi failed to find his feet and his colleagues up front lacked purpose too.

In the end South Sudanese striker Moga volleyed home in injury time of the first half after being fed by Ivorian Douhou Sey Djidja Pierre who cut past two defenders to thread the pass.

Pereira's wards started the second half like their first. Pierre's effort was palmed away by ONGC custodian Rehenesh T.P. but not to safety. Unfortunately for Pune FC, there was no one at the other end to meet the ball on the rebound. Pune continued to pile on the pressure. In the 62nd minute, Moga was beautifully set up by Pierre only for the former to skew it over. Three minutes later, Othallo Tabia headed wide from close.

Of the few chances ONGC got to draw level, Katsumi drilled a gilt-edged opportunity wide in the 71st minute off a Brown floater from the right wing, while Brown himself came close to scoring twice in the last ten minutes of the match.

I-League: Confident Pune FC up against the might of ONGC

Pune FC are nearly out of the title race, but only nearly so they want to keep their slim title chances alive ahead of the I-League Round 24 tie against ONGC at the Ambedkar Stadium in Delhi.

Pune FC Coach Derrick Pereira said, "Mathematically we are still in the hunt. That stays the motivation for the boys. We are all professionals and are here to get the best result. So I am optimistic. We need to win all our matches and we are working hard to achieve that. We need to put our best foot forward and the boys are training assiduously for that. The rest is not in our hands. But at least if such an opportunity comes our way, we should not let that go."

Pereira's Pune are now placed fourth in the points table with 37 points from 21 matches, 10 points behind leaders Churchill Brothers who have played a game extra. Prayag United are third playing three matches more and having 38 points from their 24, while East Bengal are sitting second with 42 in their kitty from 22 outings.

"We need to win all our matches and hope that Churchill loses three. They have couple of tough matches against Dempo and Mohun Bagan. Nothing is impossible in sport," added the Pune FC Coach.

Derrick Pereira though is aware of the fact that ONGC have made the Ambedkar Stadium their fortress.

"They have been very good at home and we are expecting a tough contest on the morrow. They are a young side with some quality players. Santosh (Kashyap) also has done a good job with the side. But having said that we have worked on their weaknesses and if we play to our potential, we can get the better of them in their own backyard," Pereira concluded.

Pune will be without the services of left back Gurjinder Kumar who is nursing a groin injury with N. Mohanraj taking his place.

ONGC are currently placed seventh with 30 points from 23 matches. But what has brought the I-League side into limelight is their remarkable form at home. ONGC have not lost a game at home since last year November when they were beaten 2-4 by Air India.

VIDEO: Churchill Brothers SC 2-1 Pune FC - Post-Match Reactions

Here are the post-match reactions of the two coaches on PFCTV after the I-League clash between Churchill Brothers SC and Pune FC at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco, which Churchill Brothers won 2-1 and moved closer to regaining the title.

Here are the goals from yesterday's top I-League clash between Churchill Brothers SC and Pune FC at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco, which Churchill Brothers won 2-1 and moved closer to regaining the title.

Churchill Bros beat Pune FC 2-1, go five points clear in I-League!

Goan side Churchill Brothers SC took a giant step towards regaining the I-League title after scoring a 2-1 victory over Pune FC in a Round 23 clash at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco this evening.

After a barren session where the teams hardly gave the other side an inch, T. Bineesh Balan and Sunil Chhetri struck majestically to give Churchill Brothers a five-point lead at the top of the table with just four matches left to be played. Pune FC, also nursing title ambitions, were left to ponder on their defensive frailties as both goals they conceded stemmed from mistakes at the back. Substitute Boima Karpeh could only pull on back for Pune FC.

Both teams were understandably nervous at the start and played extremely safe. It were the hosts, though, who created the better chances as Henry Arnaud Antchouet Rebienot, in the 10th minute, laid a ball for Afghanistan striker Balal Arezou who could not guide it into the goal. Sunil Chhetri then drilled a low ball through for Henry but the Gabonese striker delayed, allowing a rival defender to dispossess him. Pune FC did not have any clear chances in the first session with James Moga left stranded.

In the second session, Churchill took the lead. Much of the blame should be shouldered by goalkeeper Shahinlal Meloly whose poor goal-kick saw Henry trap the ball and lay it for substitute T. Bineesh Balan who showed remarkable poise to finish from a narrow angle in the 57th minute.

Churchill made it 2-0 only five minutes later when another defensive mistake allowed Sunil Chhetri the space to curl a brilliant left-footer into the top corner of the net. It could have been all over for Pune FC almost immediately but the goalkeeper Shahinlal redeemed himself with two quick saves to deny Chhetri and Balal.

Towards the end, Churchill pressed more men forward but the Churchill Brothers defence stood its ground. It was not until added time that Boima Karpeh pulled one back for Pune FC, providing for a nervy five minute in injury time towards the end.

I-League: Churchill Brothers host Pune FC in crucial tie tomorrow

After their win in the AFC Cup on Tuesday, I-League leaders Churchill Brothers SC go head-to-head with Pune FC in a crucial I-League clash that will possibly decide their own title ambitions at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco on Friday evening.

Churchill Brothers lead the I-League table with 44 points from 21 matches and know that a win against Pune FC will put them in the driver's seat with just four more matches to be played and opening a five points lead over closest rivals East Bengal Club.

Meanwhile Pune FC are placed third with 37 points from 20 matches, and although they are seven points behind Churchill Brothers, coach Derrick Pereira knows that a win will cut the deficit down to four points and they will still have a match in hand.

"This match will be the key. Anything can happen in the title race," said Pereira.

Pune FC have been solid in their performances and Pereira believes his team will need another superb performance to tame Churchill Brothers in their own den.

"Churchill have some tough games including Mohun Bagan and Dempo. If we can defeat them on Friday, we can start dreaming," said Pereira, who will miss Indian international midfielder Izumi Arata through suspension.

"I have noticed over the years that you have to work hard and if you do that sincerely, results will follow. At Pune FC, the management have been supportive and pushing us for results," Derrick added.

Churchill Brothers are equally determined to surge ahead in the title race.

"This is a do-or-die match for us. A win will be excellent. I hope we can do just that," said Technical Director Subhas Bhowmick.

Churchill Brothers fielded a depleted side for the AFC Cup clash against Warrior FC of Singapore earlier this week and all of the players, except for Brazilian midfielder Beto, are expected to return to the field.

"The boys are in top gear. I am sure they will deliver," said Bhowmick.

The match kicks off at 6.30pm at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco.

Pune FC Coach Derrick Pereira: I'm very happy for Arata Izumi

Besides working on the fitness of his players, for Pune FC Coach Derrick Pereira, the Conditioning Course for Football Coaches by former FC Barcelona and Manchester City fitness instructor Raymond Verheijen stayed the highlight of 40-day break in the I-League. In a candid interview to AIFF Media, the veteran coach speaks at length about how Pune FC benefited from the break, his team's National Team players, favourites for the I-League and about his 'once in a lifetime' experience.


How much did the 40-day break help?

It was of immense help. The break helped our injured players recuperate. We were going through a bad phase just before the break and now we stay upbeat and confident again. Most importantly, we have a full squad at our disposal. After all, an injury-free squad boosts you up psychologically.


What stayed the highlight of the break?

For me, it stayed off the field. Raymond Verheijen has to be right up there as one of the lifetime experiences during this break. He is such a big personality in the football world and the three-day Conditioning Course virtually changed my outlook towards the game. I strongly believe that if we can follow the regime and implement it in years to come, Indian football will grow leaps and bounds. Our Technical Director Mr. Rob Baan's Master Plan has shown us the roadmap. Such a Course during the break was so refreshing.


Three Pune FC players were part of India's AFC Challenge Cup campaign. How do you see it?

I am very happy for Arata (Izumi). Over the years I have seen him improve so much in front of my eyes. He has adjusted to Indian conditions well. He has worked very hard to play for India.

As far as Jeje (Lalpekhlua) is concerned, he needs to stay injury-free and I pray that he does. He is an extremely talented footballer who has immense potential. He needs to stay focused and eye that place regularly in the National Team.

Gurjinder (Kumar) is one for the future. He has been a fine player, full of energy. I'm proud he made his debut for the country. We also have quite a few talented players in our Academy who are waiting in the wings for a call-up.


Where does Pune FC go from here?

We have played well this season. The balance of the side is very good and it's paying off. We lost a focus a bit after winning nine on the trot. But against Mumbai FC, though we lost but our boys played really well. It is not always that result reflects the true story. Our aim is to finish on top.


Who would you rate as the favourites in the I-League?

Churchill Brothers, East Bengal and Dempo look good. Frankly it is difficult to pick one favourite at the moment. The battle is very intense and it will be closely contested.


What's the secret of Pune FC's Academy Team staying so consistent in the U-20 League for I-League teams?

Our management deserves all the credit for putting up such a sound Academy in place. A lot of emphasis is paid on Youth Development Programme and it's really sound. I need to mention Ranjan Chowdhury's name and the entire Academy staff for their relentless efforts.

Peninsula Pune Football Club Academy (PPFCA) have postponed their 'Open' trials for the Under-19 and Under-17 teams to May 16 to 21 at the Pune FC Training Pitch in Mamurdi. The decision to postpone the trials was solely taken by the Pune FC management due to unnamed reasons.

The Under-17 programme will make up the first batch of the PPFCA residential scheme breaking away from the non-residential tag held earlier. The Under-19s trials are for the second batch.

Age eligibility is as follows

Under-17 – Players born after January 1, 1997
Under-19 – Players born after January 1, 1995

Registration forms can be downloaded from punefc.com, which is listed under the link 'Academy'.

Forms will need to be emailed with a subject line bearing – 'Under -19 Trials' or 'Under-17 Trials' respectively to ppfcacademy@gmail.com on or before May 10, 2013.

Note: All trialists who have applied earlier are requested NOT to resend applications.

Every applicant will thereafter be emailed a Confirmed Registration Number (CRN), which will make them eligible to give a trial. The CNR reply mail will also include all other details.

All players attending any age-group 'Pune FC Open Trials' should carry along a proof of age document/certificate (a xerox of either birth certificate/ SSLC Certificate issued by board of education or passport).
