HALF TIME!
An interesting first half comes to an end. There still is nothing to separate the two side. Soorma Hockey Club seem to be gaining more control early in the second quarter, but the Delhi SG Pipers did not let it last long.
The Pipers have been eager to push forward and they have had their chances. But Vincent Vanasch has been a rock in front of that goal post. The Pipers even came in with a last ditch attempt in the dying seconds of the half, but could not make anything of it.
Soorma have been a bit laid back in their approach. They have had circle penetrations, but have posed no real threat to the Pipers' goalkeeper.
Soorma 0-0 Pipers
28' - Another save from Vanasch
Ashu Maurya with a direct shot into the goal and Vincent Vanasch clears it away. He is pumped up is the Belgian goalkeeper. Lets out a roar after that save.

25' - VANASCH SAVES!
The Soorma Hockey Club defence is opened up once again and Koji Yamasaki has a shot at the goal. He opts for a tomahawk but it is not connected well.
Vincent Vanasch has no troubles in keeping it out of the goal. He just deflects it off with his left hand, without even having to move.
Soorma 0-0 Pipers
21' - Soorma growing in confidence
Six minutes into the second quarter and Soorma seem to be enjoying more control on the ball now. Overall, the Pipers have not done too badly but the Soorma have started to make it a bit difficult for them.

The drag flick is hit straight to Vincent Vanasch, who just blocks it with ease. Harmanpreet then redeems himself with an excellent clear off the rebound.
