Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium: JSW Soorma Hockey Club secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tamil Nadu Dragons in a third-place playoff in the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 to claim the bronze medal and a prize of INR 1 crore at the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium here on Saturday. Goals from Gurjant Singh (12’), Harjeet Singh (19’), and Prabhjot Singh (57’) sealed the win for Soorma, while Blake Govers (15’) and Jip Janssen (59’) found the net for the Dragons.

The opening quarter saw both teams start cautiously, focusing on ball control and quick passing. The Tamil Nadu Dragons had a chance to break the deadlock in the 10th minute with a penalty corner, but Jip Janssen’s shot went wide. Just two minutes later, JSW Soorma Hockey Club took the lead when Gurjant Singh (12’) received a pass from Jeremy Hayward and fired it into the net. Soon after, Soorma earned a penalty corner but couldn’t convert as Harmanpreet Singh’s attempt was deflected out.

In response, the Dragons launched a swift counter-attack, with Karthi Selvam weaving past defenders before delivering a perfect pass to Blake Govers (15’), who dived to his right and slotted the ball between Soorma goalkeeper Vincent Vanasch’s legs to equalise in the final moments of the first quarter.
