Captain Zainul Samar struck the first goal in the first half while 2014 Sub-Junior sensation Mohd Guffran deflected a rebound to enhance the lead in the second half.
The match was evenly fought. being new turf, both teams struggled to control the ball movements. OTHL's midfield consisiting of Sumit Sharma, Sanjay Soni and Mohd Altaf unleashed a commendable control to keep the rivals at bay. Our Delhi team had won three penalty corners out of which Zainul Samar effected a drag to give lead. Due to faulty push, the other two penalty corners could not be utilized by the talented school team
