...
THE STATS LADIES AND GENTS - 32 CIRCLE ENTRIES AND 16 SHOTS ON GOAL FOR THE INDIANS WHO WERE FOUND WANTING AT THE GOALMOUTH - WHICH SHOULD BE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN FOR THE COACHING TEAM - 4 CIRCLE ENTRIES AND 3 SHOTS ON TARGET FOR THE POLES WITH A LONE GOAL THAT RESULTED FROM SOME POOR DEFENDING FROM THE INDIANS

FIVE PCs FOR THE INDIANS - WITH HARMANPREET CONVERTING, AND MANPREET SCORING ONE OFF A REBOUND FROM AMIT ROHIDAS' FLICK - JUST ONE PC FOR THE POLES 

THE INDIANS FAILED TO GET GOING IN THE FIRST QUARTER - AND WHEN THEY FINALLY SCORED ONE, MATEUSZ HULBOJ'S EQUALIZER GAVE THE HOME TEAM QUITE A SCARE BUT MANPREET'S GOALS ENSURED THAT THE HOSTS WENT INTO THE LEMON BREAK RELIEVED - BUT NOT ELATED BY ANY MEANS

HARMANPREET'S GOAL IN THE THIRD QUARTER SEALED THE DEAL BUT REID'S BOYS FAILED TO OPEN THE FLOODGATES

THE INDIANS MAY HAVE EXPECTED THE POLES TO LAUNCH AN ALL-OUT ATTACK IN ORDER TO SCORE A FEW ON THE COUNTER IN THE SECOND HALF - WHICH NEVER REALLY HAPPENED - WHEN THE INDIANS DID MANAGE TO PENETRATE THE POLISH CIRCLE THEY FAILED TO FIND THE TARGET WITH SOME MISHITS AND POOR PASSES THAT FAILED TO FIND THEIR INTENDED TARGET 
...
TO BE FAIR TO THE INDIANS, THE POLES DID NOT MAKE AN ALL-OUT ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE DEFICIT, PREFERRING INSTEAD TO DEFEND IN NUMBERS - WHICH DID NOT ALLOW THE INDIAN STRIKERS THE KIND OF SPACE THEY WOULD HAVE RELISHED
...
THE INDIANS WERE FAR FROM CLINICAL - UNABLE TO BREAK AWAY FROM SOME STAUNCH POLISH MARKING - WITH QUITE A FEW ERRORS AT THE GOALMOUTH - AND SOME SHODDY DEFENDING AT TIMES
...
