HIL Highlights: Team Gonasika beat Hyderabad Toofans – Updates, Scores, Blog

Gonasika 1-1 Toofans
HALF TIME!
That also brings curtains down on the first half. Gonasika seem to have enjoyed more possession and control but the scores are level. If not for that massive defensive lapse, Gonasika might have had the lead as well. But there's never what ifs in sports, is there?
Some major work to do for both teams as they head into the half-time break. See you on the other side.

30' - Brilliant tackle from Sumit
Gonasika with yet another dangerous run and Lee Morton is almost unmarked. That is until Sumit comes in and just steals the ball away. Brilliant tackle from the Toofans captain.

28' - Devindar Walmiki showboating
Devindar Walmiki is surrounded near the right baseline by the Gonasika forwards. He keeps dribbling the ball himself and blocking the Gonasika players. The crowd roars and Walmiki is now just showboating at one corner of the field.
He eventually concedes a long corner, but that was fun little phase.

22' - Gonasika's goal disallowed
Araijeet Singh Hundal with a good run right down the centre. He goes past a couple of defenders and sets up Timothee Clement.
The Frenchman outfoxes the only defender marking him and slots it in with a tomahawk. Gonasika are out celebrating, but the umpire immediately asks for a review.
The replays confirm that the shot was off the back stick from Clement. It won't stand. The goal has been disallowed.

19' - Wallace coming into his own
Zachary Wallace is coming into his own at the Birsa Munda Stadium. A good cross in from the right, but it is intercepted well from the Gonasika defence.

17' - Toofans growing in confidence
The Hyderabad Toofans are growing in confidence and Gonasika seem to have gone into a shell. Zachary Wallace is unmarked at the top of the circle. He takes the shot, but thankfully for Gonasika it goes well above the post.
