The league stage of the Hockey India League is almost at an end, with only two matches left. 

In the penultimate match, we have JSW Soorma Hockey Club taking on the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela, on Wednesday. 

Bengal Tigers, the league leaders, have a chance to seal their top spot with a win but they also know a loss here means they could be pushed down the standings. 

Soorma Hockey Club also have the chance to finish at the top should they get an outright win and other results go their way. 

As it happened:

Victor Wegnez like the previous two Soorma shooters cooly slots his penalty home! 

Pardeep Singh's effort is saved by Vincent Vanasch and Soorma take the two points! 

Both sides have qualified for the semifinals so it is all smiles in both dugouts.

Vivek Prasad produces a brilliant penalty, but Tim Cross absolutely skies his penalty! 

This is dreadful from Bengal!

Harmanpreet beautifully slots his penalty, such a cool head on his shoulders! 

But Gursewak makes a meal of his attempt, and Soorma takes the lead

SOORMA HOCKEY CLUB 1-1 BENGAL TIGERS

It has finished all square and we're heading to a penalty shootout! 

But all is well for Soorma, as they are now through to the semifinals of the HIL! 

They still have the shootout to go through in this match though, against Bengal who knows two points is still better than one!

SOORMA HOCKEY CLUB 1-1 BENGAL TIGERS

WHAT A PENALTY CORNER FROM JUGRAJ! 

A superb PC from Jugraj and Bengal now have parity restored, finally! 

Soorma still can go through with a point, if it stays this way but will Bengal push for the winner?

Abhisek hits a backhand shot with a lot of power and it forced a good save from Vincent and then Della Torre calmly keeps possession and alleviates the Bengal pressure! 

Superb from Della Torre there!

SOORMA HOCKEY CLUB 1-0 BENGAL TIGERS

Much improved from Bengal in this quarter, but the match still remain in Soorma's favor, and if things don't change in the next 15 minutes, Soorma will make it to the final four of the HIL

SOORMA HOCKEY CLUB 1-0 BENGAL TIGERS

Murphy's law of "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" is on full effect for Bengal as nothing seems to go their way, even when it goes their way! 

They won a PC and the dragflick got in the way of the defenders and despite the ball in a ideal position to be hit goalwards, somehow, Soorma clear it away!
