Hyderabad Toofans Edge HIL GC 3-2 to Stay Alive in Men’s HIL
With their tournament on the line, Hyderabad Toofans registered a narrow 3-2 victory against HIL GC in their last league stage match of the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday. Zachary Wallace, Amandeep Lakra, and Shilanand Lakra were on target for Hyderabad, while Kane Russell scored a brace for HIL GC.
The opening exchanges saw HIL GC control possession before Hyderabad Toofans took the lead against the run of play, scoring from a penalty corner. Zacharay Wallace’s (6’) effort found its way into the back of the net after a deflection, evading James Mazarelo in goal. It took HIL GC only two minutes to get back on level terms, though, as they scored from their first penalty corner courtesy of a dragflick from Kane Russell (8’).
