"We made it quite difficult for ourselves as a team, but good to get a win," he says.

FULL TIME!

The Tamil Nadu Dragons have extended their dominance at the top of the points table. They come from behind to beat the Delhi SG Pipers, whose search for a win extends further. 

The Pipers scored first, thanks to Tomas Domene but soon lost the way. The Dragons equalised by Jip Janssen in the first quarter itself before they killed the game of in the next quarter with two goals within a matter of minutes.

Domene did pull one back for the Pipers, but it was not enough.

60' - SAVE HARTE!

David Harte with yet another good save in the dying moments of the match to keep the Dragons afloat.

57' - Pipers take off their goalkeeper

The Delhi SG Pipers have taken off their goalkeeper for an extra outfield player. Remember, the Dragons are down to ten men so this is essentially a 11v9 for the Pipers.

56' - Pipers miss two PCs

A penalty corner for the Pipers and David Harte blocks Gareth Furlong's the drag flick once again. The Pipers ask for a review and the replays shows the ball hit the back stick of a defender after Harte's save. PC again for the Pipers.

Tomas Domene with the second drag flick and Martin Zwicker at the post does well to deflect it away off his stick. The Pipers ask for a review once again and they are proven wrong this time around.

A lot of drama all of a sudden.

56' - YELLOW CARD, DRAGONS!

Ganesh Majji picks up a yellow card for the Tamil Nadu Dragons. They will be down to ten men for the rest of the match. Can the Pipers take advantage?

55' - Time running out for Pipers

The Dragons are happy to sit back and defend. They have crowded the circle and are not giving the Pipers, who have the time running out, even an inch.

51' - Good move from the Pipers

A good move created via the right flank from the Delhi SG Pipers and Dilraj shows off his skills in the circle. He crosses the ball in, but it is dangerous. The move is halted.
