HIL: Soorma Hockey Club beats Rarh Bengal Tigers – Highlights
39' - TIGERSSS SCOREEE!
A stick tackle on left as the Rarh Bengal Tigers try to penetrate the circle from the right by Prabhjot and the Soorma concede a penalty corner.
Jugraj Singh with the drag flick from the first quarter and he beats the goalkeeper to his left. The postman Nicolas della Torre gets a stick to it to reduce the pace of the ball, but it is not enough. It just about goes past the white line in the goal. And the umpire hands it to the Tigers.
The Tigers have pulled one back!
Tigers 1-2 Soorma
36' - SAVE, CARR!
The Soorma Hockey Club continue to call the shots. A good pass into the circle from the right and the ball finds Prabhjot inside the circle.
He fires a fiery shot from close range, but that is blocked by goalkeeper Jamie Carr. The Soorma continue the play on rebound but eventually the ball is deemed dangerous to cut short that move.
Tigers 0-2 Soorma
31' - Back for second half
We are back live for the second half. The Rarh Bengal Tigers get us underway after that break.
Tigers 0-2 Soorma
HALF-TIME!
What a quarter that was for the Soorma Hockey Club. They needed goals and they deliver in some style. They have struggled for field goals in the 2024-25 HIL and they have gotten two in a space of seven minutes in this match, thanks to Prabhjot and Maninder Singh.
The Rarh Bengal Tigers have been jolted and they will have a mountain to climb in the second half. Remember, the Tigers are yet to play a single penalty shootout in the tournament. Will today be the day? Or will Soorma hang on for an outright win?
Tigers 0-2 Soorma
28' - Good review from Soorma

Nicolas Keenan lifts the ball on his stick at the baseline and runs in. He then pushes the ball into a defender's feet and that's some excellent work to earn a penalty corner for Soorma.
It is Nicolas della Torre with the drag flick this time from the first battery and his attempt is blocked by the Tigers goalkeeper. Gurjant tries to pounce on the rebound but fails.
However, the ball then falls to Maninder Singh, who slots it in. Soorma have doubled their lead.
