HIL 2024-25: Bengal Tigers Surging Back To Beat Delhi SG Pipers 2-1 To Reach Semis
The Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers: The Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers made a comeback for the ages by scoring two goals in the final five minutes to beat the Delhi SG Pipers in the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) clash here on Monday. By virtue of their stunning come-from-behind win, the Bengal Tigers qualified for the semifinals by amassing 18 points from nine matches.
Tomas Domene gave the Delhi SG Pipers the lead in the 27th minute but late strikes from Rupinder Pal Singh (55') and Sebastien Dockier (59') earned the Bengal Tigers a magnificent win.
Both teams got off to a cagey start in what was an evenly-contested first quarter. There was just one penalty corner won by the SG Pipers but the resulting strike was off target. The SG Pipers largely attacked from the left through Dilraj Singh, but it was the Bengal Tigers who came close to opening the scoring. Dockier combined well with Abhishek to breach the opposition circle, but Benjamin Rennie made a fine save to deny them.
