GOAL!!!!!!!!!!! Mandeep scores the field goal for Delhi with a reverse flick to give his side a 2-0 in the match

Mandeep hits it wide from the right! Delhi have begun well in the 2nd quarter

At the end of the opening quarter, the scoreline reads 0-0 with both teams having a balanced 15 minutes

Excellent run from Talwinder but gets the PC for his side eventually. Rupinder Pal Singh firs it wide.

Good save from Lovell to prevent that side flick from the Waveriders from entering into the goal

Jackson is presentlly seated on the bench

Ashley Jackson and Rupinder Pal Singh have a small physical contact. The refereee call them both and settles the matter

We are 7 minutes into the 1st quarter! Its still 0-0

Ranchi fail to convert it! Its been a equal quarter thus far

SAVE!!!!!!!! Manchester saves it on that occasion. A superb run from the home team almost gives them a 2-0 advantage. But they still get a Penalty Corner

Delhi with the ball possession now! We are 3 minutes into the opening quarter

This is Rupinder Pal Singh's 50th HIL match

Referral from Ranchi and its sucessful
