HIL: Soorma Hockey Club beat Delhi SG Pipers in shootout – Highlights
57' - SOORMA SCOREEE!
Another penalty corner for Soorma Hockey Club and Hamranpreet Singh brings his side level with a top notch drag flick.
The Indian captain was in the second battery this time around with Hayward in the first, but the injection goes to Singh, who makes no mistake in slotting that into the net on the first attempt.
THE SCORES ARE LEVEL WITH JUST UNDER 4 MINUTES LEFT!
Soorma 2-2 Pipers
55' - Boris with a dangerous left
A good pass from Nicolas della Torre finds Boris in the circle for Soorma. Boris, however, lifts the ball dangerously high trying to get out of jail with a marked defender.
The move is cut down with that.
Soorma 1-2 Pipers
50' - SAVE, BENJAMIN!
Gurjant with the shot from the left and Hamranpreet is running right down the centre to distract the goalkeeper. However, Rennie Benjamin is unfazed despite the distraction and just blocks away the shot.
Soorma 1-2 Pipers
48' - SOORMA SCOREEE!
A penalty corner for Soorma Hockey Club and Harmanpreet Singh converts. The first drag flick is deflected away, but they are handed a second.
Harmanpreet does not miss this time and puts the ball in. The Soorma have pulled one back with over 12 minutes left – this match still has some life left.
Harmanpreet Singh believes, Soorma Hockey Club believe.
Soorma 1-2 Pipers
47' - Good interception from Jake Whetton
Harmanpreet Singh and Jeremy Hayward – two of the most experienced players in the Soorma setup with a brilliant 1-2 to penetrate the circle. The ball finds Maninder, who takes a shot and the goalkeeper is left wrong footed.
But Jake Whetton comes in with a brilliant interception and clears it away.
Soorma 0-2 Pipers
END OF THIRD QUARTER!
That goal also brings curtains down on the third quarter. The Delhi SG Pipers will still be a man down when they come out post the break, but do they really care at this point?
Soorma Hockey Club have been left stunned in the last two minutes. Can Harmanpreet Singh inspire his boys for a fightback?
Soorma 0-2 Pipers
45' - DELHI SG PIPERS SCORE, AGAIN!
Are the Pipers down a player or is it Soorma?
Jake Whetton receives the ball on the right flank and just drills the ball into the circle with a wide open gap for his assistance. Manjeet comes running in, dives full length and gets a perfect deflection. That is enough to beat Vincent Vanasch.
The Delhi SG Pipers have turned this match around and how?
Soorma 0-2 Pipers
43' - DELHI SG PIPERS SCOREEE!
Down to ten men? No problem, say Delhi SG Pipers. No problem, says Tomas Domene.
A good pass from Ky Willot finds Domene in the circle. The Argentine forward is, however, surrounded. He dribbles past a couple of defenders to lose them and then beats Vincent Vanasch to slot the ball in.
DELHI SG PIPERS HAVE THE LEAD!
Soorma 0-1 Pipers
41' - Pipers down to ten men
Varun with a rookie error. He plays the ball after the whistle and picks up a yellow card for his second misdemeanour in the match. He is out for five minutes and Delhi SG Pipers will have to play the rest of this quarter a man down.
Can Soorma Hockey Club take advantage of this?
Soorma 0-0 Pipers
