HIL Highlights: UP Rudras beats Kalinga Lancers – Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
49' - UP RUDRAS SCOREEE!
The Kalinga Lancers are falling apart now at the Birsa Munda Stadium. The defence is absolutely clueless as to what's transpiring out there. Lars Balk with a drive inside the circle and the Lancers defenders are just ball watching, hoping for Krishan Bahadur Phatak to let the ball through.
But Sudeep Chirmako intervenes. He dives for the ball and gets a deflection. The ball has gone into the net out of nowhere. UP RUDRAS HAVE THE LEAD!
Rudras 2-1 Lancers
48' - SAVE, PHATAK!
An early penalty corner in the final quarter for the UP Rudras, and Krishan Bahadur Phatak saves. He was forced to dive full length to his left to keep that out. Brilliant from Phatak to keep the Lancers in it.
Rudras 1-1 Lancers
END OF THIRD QUARTER!
That's the end of the third quarter. UP Rudras, after looking down and out in the first half, have come back strongly in the third quarter. They have had more ball possession, control and have dominated the proceedings.
The Kalinga Lancers defence held tight for the longest of times before handing a PC in the dying moments of the quarter. It proved costly as the Rudras are now level.
Rudras 1-1 Lancers
45' - UP RUDRAS EQUALISE!
THEY DO SCOREEE! Kane Russell with the drag flick and it beats Krishan Bahadur Phatak to his left. THE UP RUDRAS HAVE EQUALISED!
Rudras 1-1 Lancers
45' - PC, UP RUDRAS!
The UP Rudras have been at it relentlessly and they have been rewarded with a penalty corner with 39 seconds left on clock. Can they convert?

43' - Good defending, Lancers!
The UP Rudras come in once again, but the Kalinga Lancers defence is water tight. Akashdeep Singh with the ball inside the circle and Alexander Hendrickx pressures him into making a mistake and steals the ball away.
Rudras 0-1 Lancers
39' - SAVE, PHATAK!
The UP Rudras in ascendency now and the Kalinga Lancers need their skipper Krishan Bahadur Phatak to bail them out this time with a save.

38' - Good defence from Lancers
The UP Rudras run in from the right and try to create a chance, but the circle is already crowded with the Lancers' defenders. They take control rather easily there.
Rudras 0-1 Lancers
33' - SAVE, MAZARELO!
James Mazarelo once again with a brilliant save. The Lancers penetrate from the right and the ball finds Boby Singh Dhami in front of the goal. Dhami turns around and strikes a reverse hit, and Mazarelo had to dive full stretch to his right to keep that out.
