PKL 2019, Telugu Titans vs UP Yoddha: 5 Talking Points

Modified Aug 02, 2019 22:11 IST

Review ensures defensive dominance remains in second half

The start of the second half was a direct opposite of the first, with scoring coming through completely through tackle points. Not even a single raid point came in the first 10 mins after the breather - as the match started to follow the trend of defences standing tall in the tournament so far.

C. Arun scored two tackle points while Farhad got one for the Titans and on the other hand, Amit, Sumit and Nitesh scored a tackle point each for the Yoddha.

With the Titans down to four, Srikant Jadhav looked to have picked up two raid points with a fantastic effort, evading Abozar Mighani's dash, with the referee awarding the points. However, the Titans reviewed the call, which showed that Srikant's hand did not cross the mid-line and the decision was overturned and a point was awarded to the side in yellow.
