It proved to be a challenging night for our Giants as we faced a formidable Puneri Paltan in Jaipur, resulting in a tough loss. The Paltans exhibited a superior performance, showcasing their prowess on the field and deserving every bit of their victory. Although the game didn't unfold in our favor, we have confidence that a spirited comeback awaits us in the upcoming matches.
The match commenced with Puneri Paltan seizing an excellent start, swiftly establishing a 5-point lead. Notably, their defense posed a significant challenge for us, and regrettably, we could only muster a single point in the first five minutes of the opening half. Puneri Paltan impressively accumulated 8 tackle points during this phase, emphasizing their defensive strength.
Despite our earnest efforts, including Sonu's commendable Super Tackle, Puneri Paltan inflicted an All Out with three minutes remaining in the first half, widening the gap to 16-7. The initial half concluded with Puneri Paltan commanding an 11-point lead. While our team has staged comebacks in the past, this particular game didn't witness a reversal of fortunes. Puneri Paltan sustained their dominance, executing an early All Out in the second half, thereby extending their lead to 28-10.
Even though we managed to pull off some Super Tackles towards the end, it proved insufficient, and Puneri Paltan secured the win. Sombir emerged as a standout performer for us, earning a well-deserved High 5. Despite the disappointment, our focus is on the next game against Dabang Delhi K.C. in Jaipur, where we are determined to turn the tide back in our favor.
