    HIL 2024-25: Soorma Secure SF Spot With Shoot-out Win Over Bengal Tigers

    Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers: Soorma Hockey Club advanced to the semifinals with a 1-1 (3-0 SO) penalty shootout victory against Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers in their last Pool stage match of the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium here on Wednesday. Gurjant Singh (10’) gave Soorma the lead early in the game while Jugraj Singh (56’) equalised for the Tigers towards the end of the game.

    Soorma showcased proactive defence in the initial minutes and carefully probed for any weakness in the Tigers’ half. However, the first chance of the game fell to the Tigers as Sukhjeet, on a counterattack, crossed the ball past Soorma’s goalkeeper Vincent Vanasch but Sébastien Dockier was unable to direct it into goal.

    Soorma went on to gain more possession, pegging the Tigers back into their own half and it wasn’t long before Victor Wegnez blazed the ball across the goal and Gurjant Singh deflected the ball in to grant Soorma the lead. Soorma earned a penalty corner with three minutes left in the quarter but Harmanpreet Singh’s shot was charged down. The Tigers showed more initiative in the second quarter. Five minutes in, Tim Cross barged into a circle, dancing past multiple defenders, and unloaded the ball to Abhishek but Vanasch was alert in goal to save his shot.
