Final Match Highlights

The Haryana Steelers, despite their commendable journey to the final, were let down by their defense in the crucial moments. Key defenders like Mohit Nandal, Jaideep Dahiya, Rahul Sethpal, and Mohit were only able to secure a single point in the second half, contributing to their three-point defeat. Nevertheless, the Steelers’ path to the final, especially after finishing fifth in the standings and overcoming a heavy defeat in their season opener against UP Yoddhas, remains a noteworthy achievement.
