UP Yoddhas 33 - 35 U Mumba
You have to feel for the UP Yoddhas there! They had U Mumba on the ropes for most of this match, but Sunil Kumar's side refused to give up and looked really comfortable playing with 2-3 defenders on the mat, and they'll reflect positively on the three Super Tackles that proved to be the difference in the end.
The Yoddhas dominated the initial portions of the match to get the all-out, with U Mumba hitting back strongly to go in almost level at half-time. In the second half as well, U Mumba delayed an inevitable all-out for the longest possible time, but once the Yoddhas got it, they looked favorites to clinch the win.
However, with 90 seconds left to play and trailing by three, some brilliant raiding from Rohit Raghav and some clutch defending helped U Mumba execute a heist of a win!
Ajit Chauhan was the pick of the raiders, with Bharat also having an impressive game, scoring a Super 10. Rohit Raghav's impact off the bench can't be understated either. However, it was the defenders who were on top for both teams, with Sumit, Hitesh, Rinku, Sunil Kumar, and Parvesh all crossing three tackle points for the night!
In the end, it was a few moments of brilliance in a short space of time that sealed the win for U Mumba, while the Yoddhas will have to regroup and go again in front of their home fans.
That's some match we've witnessed to start the Noida leg of PKL 2024, and the action doesn't stop here! Two of the best coaches in the PKL go head-to-head as the Steelers and the Gujarat Giants face off in the second match of the night.
