Keita converted a  penalty-kick in the 41st minute, while substitute Othallo Tabia scored a  in the 70th to complete the tally.<\/p>\n<p>The win provided Pune FC a  lift from 11th to 9th position as they now have eight points from seven  matches. They are just below Salgaocar SC and above Shillong Lajong,  who both have same points as Pune FC while Air India stay on 10 points  from 7 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Pune FC was a dominant force all throughout  and put pressure on the rivals from the start. Ambitious tries from long  were the order of the day initially with strikers Keita, Jeje  Lalpekhlua and medio Lester Fernandes made hay.<\/p>\n<p>With Mondal  doing excellent work under the bar, Pune FC forwards played with purpose  as Karma Teshwang and Douhou Pierre troubled the Air India defence.  Lester and Jeje too pounced from both ends to give Pune FC the much  needed edge.<\/p>\n<p>With the hosts dominating the midfield their  constant attacks eventually bore fruit when Keita was pulled down by  defender Manjit Singh on a run on the right prompting the referee to  point to the spot. Keita gleefully converted.<\/p>\n<p>On the  changeover, Pune FC kept up the pressure but slowed the pace. It was  during this period that Air- India pushed ahead. But an alert Pune FC  goalkeeper Abhra denied them with a brilliant dive to his left to keep  out a deflection off Sandeep Sangha\u2019s longranger.<\/p>\n<p>Off Pune  FC\u2019s seventh corner, Othallo scored Pune FC\u2019s second. Lester sent in a  low corner which was volleyed in on the run by an unmarked Othallo  giving no chance to the \u2018keeper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Pune:<\/strong> Mandjou Keita and Othallo Tabia gave Pune FC the much  needed victory after three back-to-back losses as the home team scored  their second win in seven matches beating Air India 2-0 in the I-League  at the Balewadi Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I-League: Pune FC back to winning ways - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
