The Blasters
got into two chances, the best of which went to Chench, but Laxmikant
Kattimani, Juanan and Nim Dorjee stood high to take more of the team after the break.
The HFC was
under pressure and could easily cash in after the break, as KBFC pushed hard on
the equalizer in the second half. But Ogbeche and Dan forced Gil to double
their score before the guests remained alert.
Manolo brought
on the likes of Sahil Tavora, Khassa Camara and Aniket Jadhav but it was the
substitute pair of Nikhil Poojary and Javi Siverio that got together to give us
our second of the night.

to four points.
Juanan was
named the 'hero of the match', but it was the team's total effort that helped
