Ranchi, Defending champions Ranchi Rays registered their fifth straight victory on the home turf, beating Dabang Mumbai 1-0. Yet another clinical performance by Rays helped them consolidate their position at the top of the table with 37 points.
The first quarter saw both the teams maintain an impeccable defensive line. Rays began to attack more in the second quarter but failed to breach Mumbai’s defence. The two teams went into the half-time at 0-0. The breakthrough came five minutes into the third quarter with a penalty corner conversion by Rays captain Ashley Jackson.
Dabang Mumbai launched an all-out attack thereafter in order to score an equaliser but could not penetrate the Ranchi team’s defence.
The golden opportunity for Mumbai came in the 44th minute when they got a penalty corner but it was brilliantly saved by Rays’ goalkeeper Tyler Lovell. The score at the end of the third quarter was 1-0 in favour of Ranchi Rays.
The home team continued to keep the possession, even though Mumbai dominated the play towards the end, making regular circle penetrations. Mumbai wasted two penalty corners to go down in the end.
