Vivek Sagar Prasad with the next attempt for Soorma. David Harte comes ahead and challenges and Vivek tumbles. The umpire has given a penalty stroke to the Soorma, and it is not. Instead it is a retake for Soorma.

Meanwhile, Vincent Vanasch steals the ball from Thomas Sorsby. Dragons miss once again!

Soorma lead 3-1

Dragons stay in the hunt

Victor Wegnez moves the goalkeeper around for a bit before slotting the ball in for Soorma. A bit of drama as we have a check on if the hooter went off before Wegnez scored. The GOAL STANDS.

Ludwig Moritz keeps the Dragons in hunt with a goal.

60' - Gurjant mistimes

Gurjant in the middle of the circle and he tries to take a shot, but he has mistimed it badly. Just 40 seconds left and we might be heading into a shoot-out.

58' - Good stuff from Soorma

The Soorma Hockey Club builds from the back. It was clinical all through out with no pressure from the Dragons. The move however goes in vain, with some good defending from the Dragons inside the circle.
