12' - Araijeet goes wide
A good turnover for Gonasika and they create a counter attack. Manpreet Singh with a run right down the centre and he passes the ball to an unmarked Araijeet Singh Hundal on the left.
Not the best of angles for Hundal to take a shot but he has no other option because the Rudras defenders have already fallen back to the circle by then.
The Indian tries a reverse hit from a tight angle, but hits it wide of the near post.
