HALF TIME!
Curtains on an very interesting first half. The Rudras have been more dominating in the midfield and they also have a goal to show for it, thanks to Hardik Singh.
Team Gonasika haven't done too bad either, but they just haven't been able to get that finishing touch inside the circle. They have earned quite a few penalty corners but have failed to convert.
