JSW Soorma Hockey Club: JSW Soorma Hockey Club beat Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers 2-1 in a high-voltage match here in the men's section of Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 held at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on Monday. Goals were scored by Prabhjot Singh (21'), and Maninder Singh (28') while Jugraj Singh (39') scored the lone goal for the Tigers.

The first quarter got off to a rollicking start with both teams playing with great pace and intensity. They made some fine forays into their respective striking circles which led to a flurry of PCs but neither of them could convert successfully. With no goals coming in the first quarter, the second session saw both the teams up their ante in attack. It was finally JSW Soorma who broke the deadlock and none other than their star Harmanpreet Singh set up the first goal of the match with his trademark aerial ball which was accurate to the T.

Receiving the ball in the top of the circle, Prabhjot Singh did very well to control the ball and turned around to take a successful reverse shot. The goal had the sparsely present Rourkela fans on their feet.
