Thanks for joining in

That's all we have from the first semi-final of the 2024-25 Hockey India League. The table toppers Rarh Bengal Tigers came from behind multiple times - twice in the regulation time - and then multiple times during the penalty shoot-out to force their way into the Final.

It was a heart breaking loss for the Tamil Nadu Dragons, who looked destined for a regulation time win before Sam Lane ruined their party.

They did have the lead in the shootouts as well but failed to close off the match. This had been their biggest issue off late in the league stages and that once again comes to bite them back.

Thank you for joining into our coverage. But the HIL action is not done yet. Catch all the LIVE action from the second semi-final between Soorma Hockey Club and Hyderabad Toofans here.
