Sentinel Digital Desk

Vasco, Feb 1: League leaders Minerva Punjab FC and bottom-placed Churchill Brothers will fight for vital points when they face-off in an I-League contest at the Tilak Maidan here on Friday.

Table toppers Minerva come into the game following a bitter-sweet 2-2 draw against direct title-rivals East Bengal. The Ludhia-based side was in a winning position against East Bengal leading 2-1 until they conceded a late goal in the 89th minute.

Meanwhile, Churchill Brothers are still recovering from their 0-1 defeat against Neroca FC in a game where they went all out against the Manipuri side. IANS
