BPCL fightback to hold rivals IOC Ltd 5-5

Bengaluru, Aug 13 (UNI) A sensational comeback by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) in the dying minutes ensured drew (5-5) against nemesis Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) in a high-scoring Pool A encounter here at the Dolo-650 Bangalore Cup All India Hockey Tournament 2019 (Men) on Tuesday.
It was late goals by Bengaluru lad Abharan Sudev (57') and Mohd. Amir Khan (59') that toppled a strong 5-3 lead posted by IOCL through goals by Affan Yousaf (3'), Talwinder Singh (8'), Gurjinder Singh (14' & 20') and Sumit Kumar (42').
The high-voltage match lived up to the billing with both teams showcasing aggression in their pursuit from hooter-to-hooter. First quarter saw IOCL strikers Talwinder Singh and Affan Yousaf work a lethal combination in the forward line to earn a splendid 2-0 lead within eight minutes from start time. Though an infringement by IOCL defenders in the circle gave away a penalty stroke which was well-converted by Devinder Walmiki and narrowed IOCL lead to 2-1, goals by dragflicker Gurjinder Singh (14' & 20') ensured IOCL stayed in 4-2 lead despite BPCL forward Amir Khan's 18th minute goal.
