33’ Confusion inside the box!
Delhi wins a penalty corner! Tomene takes the flick, but the ball goes off target. The Pipers appeal for a penalty corner, thinking the ball hit a foot, and after a referral, they are awarded another PC. This time, they score, but the whistle had already blown for another penalty corner, but the Pipers argue it should be a penalty stroke for dangerous play. However, the referee denies the appeal, and it remains a penalty corner.
