#2 India succumb to the Super Tackles
A Super Tackle, a successful tackle made when the defending team has less than four players on the mat, nets that team two points as opposed to one.
Today, Iran employed the Super Tackle to devastating effect to rein in the Indians after India had taken an early lead. Every time India reduced the Iranian numbers on the mat, they used it to their advantage by ratcheting up their defensive intensity a notch higher to make sure that India weren't going to run through them easily.
Iran made six Super Tackles in this match - two on Ajay Thakur, two on Monu Goyat, one each on Pardeep Narwal and Rishank Devadiga - to completely neutralize any momentum that India tried to muster. It initially helped them gain parity on the scoreboard before putting them in the lead.
It was an outstanding defensive showing.
