HIL 2024-25: Hyderabad Toofans Trounce Vedanta Kalinga Lancers 5-1, Climb To Second Spot
Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium: Hyderabad Toofans enjoyed a commanding win over the Vedanta Kalinga Lancers as they stormed to a 5-1 triumph (Gonzalo Peillat 6’ & 30’, Maico Casella 21’, Tim Brand 47’ and Arshdeep Singh 54’) in the Men’s Hockey India League clash at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on Sunday.
The Kalinga Lancers got off to a dream start as they opened the scoring in the fifth minute. The goal came via a textbook display of a penalty corner conversion as the injection came in perfectly for Alexander Hendrickx, who drilled his effort into the goal with a thunderous strike. However, their joy was short-lived as the Toofans struck back within a minute.
The goal came off the stick of seasoned veteran Gonzalo Piellat, who rifled his attempt past goalkeeper Krishan Pathak. Hendrickx nearly put the Kalinga Lancers’ lead in the eighth minute, but his strike bounced off the woodwork. The Lancers won a penalty corner in the last minute of the first quarter, but it did not amount to much as the two teams remained locked at 1-1.
