10' - Good defence from Ky Willot
A good steal from Lalit Updhyay right at the top of the circle and the ball finds Manmeet at the baseline. Ky Willot comes rushing it to take it away from the Indian.
Pipers 0-0 Rudras

7' - Ward goes wide again
A good steal from Hardik Singh and the Rudras penetrate the circle rather easily. Sam Ward has the ball inside the circle and he has one defender to beat. He manages to outfox the defender with a turn, but doesn't get the required angle or power behind the shot. It goes wide.
That's a good chance missed gone begging for the Rudras, who seem to be at ease currently.
Pipers 0-0 Rudras

6' - PC missed by Rudras
A good run into the circle by Lalit Upadhyay before the Pipers defence take control. The Rudras feel it should be a penalty corner for dangerous ball inside the circle and ask for a review.
They are indeed correct and earn the first PC of the match.
The Rudras try a variation in the penalty corner and Sam Ward eventually takes the shot, only for it to go wide.
Pipers 0-0 Rudras

3' - SAVE, MAZARELLO!
A good save from James Mazarello for the UP Rudras. A good aerial ball launched into the circle from the Delhi SG Pipers and an unmarked Jarmanpreet Singh receives it with ease.
He has an open shot at the goal and hits a reverse stick right on target. But Mazarello's left leg is enough to block that shot.
Pipers 0-0 Rudras
