FT: ODISHA WARRIORS 1-2 SOORMA HOCKEY CLUB
Soorma Hockey Club take the honors tonight, with a 2-1 victory over Odisha Warriors in what has been an all-round performance from Soorma.
After taking an early lead thanks to Hina Bano, Soorma held firm, and looked in sublime touch in the second half and deservedly doubled their lead.
They did get a late scare towards the end from Freeke Moes halving the deficit but they held on to their lead, and will walk away with victory.

Soorma, brilliant all through the second half, have the safety net with the second goal!
Sonam scores the goal for Soorma Hockey Club, and they now are in the drivers seat.
Odisha have been very poor in the second half, and the second goal is exactly what Soorma deserved.
With just 15 minutes to go, we are in for some spicy action in this match.
Final quarter has begun.
Here is the goal from Hina Bano, which is at the moment proving to be the difference between the two sides.
Soorma have been brilliant in this quarter, but for all the chance they had, they will be a tad disappointed that the scoreline has remained the same.
As for Odisha, they know that one quarter is all it takes to turn things around, and they will give it their all in the final 15 minutes.
Exciting final quarter ahead, don't go anywhere!

Salima Tete strives forward from the right and goes past the Odisha defense with ease, and puts in a dangerous ball into the circle but once again, Jocelyn comes to the rescue.
Soorma have been superb in this quarter, and have given Odisha nothing despite Odisha being the team trailing.
