1'- PC, DRAGONS!
Not even 30 seconds into the match and the Tamil Nadu Dragons have earned a penalty corner. Thomas Sorsby with a run right down the centre into the circle and no one bothers to even challenge him.
He enters the circle and pushes the ball to a defender's pit...as easy as it can get for Sorsby and the Dragons.
Dragons 0-0 Lancers
