Sambalpur and Lovely Professional University Phagwara registered easy wins to enter the semi-finals of the SNBP – 28th Nehru All India Inter-University Hockey Tournament (Inter-Zonal Final) at Major Dhyan Chand Hockey Stadium, Nehrunagar, Pimpri on Thursday.
Lovely Professional University registered a 3-1 win over Punjabi University, Patiala as Sambalpur University beat a flawed Guru Nanak Dev University 3-1 in the opening match of the day.
Lovely Professional University gave some hope to Bhushan Sharma (26th), Dhami Bobby Singh (32nd) and Hundal Arijit Singh (38th) from penalty corners after Michael Topno (25th) scored at Panjabi University, Patiala. Quarterfinal tie.
Earlier, the charge of Sambalpur University was led by Nitesh (4th and 59th) with a 2-goal effort, which included a brilliant acute angle goal which was his second goal and rounded out his team’s numbers.
Nitesh opened the account in the fourth minute before Prajukta Nag (43rd) doubled the lead.
Guru Nanak Dev University pulled back once when Sarbjinder Singh (44th) converted a penalty corner 2-1.
The game was then played cautiously before a single run by Nitesh dismissed the Amritsar goalkeeper, but Nitesh in a flash reverse drove the ball into the goal from an incredible angle.
Guru Nanak Dev University had its share of moments, but failed to capitalize. Zamanjit Singh was guilty of failing with a penalty-stroke won by his team. Zamanjit’s push was saved by Sambalpur goalkeeper Dilip SA, who guessed and blocked it.
