League Play-Off

Peterlee
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Astaratha Bisla took the kick off in the first half of the match. Jasalina Gurai made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Buddhajnana Dalel in the 4th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Peterlee's Nabil Dhillon got a free kick in the 12th minute. After 14 minutes, Ekayavan Khattqr mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Peterlee and the Keighley Citsdfy players grew even worse after the yellow card. 15 minutes into the match, Peterlee's goal looked a bit too open when Kotisvara Sidhu came free, but Jasalina Gurai reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 16 minutes into the match, Keighley Citsdfy's Buddhajnana Dalel sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jasalina Gurai narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Kumarasamy Manjrekar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jasalina Gurai having to interfere. The supporters of Keighley Citsdfy booed when Peterlee was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ekayavan Khattqr didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kotisvara Sidhu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Peterlee's Haritaka Chahil got a free kick in the 25th minute. 26 minutes into the match, Peterlee's goal looked a bit too open when Apratiratha Deol came free, but Jasalina Gurai reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Ekantin Sarang came up free with the goalie in the 27th minute, the Keighley Citsdfy fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ekantin Sarang couldn't finish the play. Kotisvara Sidhu took the ball and in the 30 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jasalina Gurai. Jasalina Gurai dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. Amrita Malhotra showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Astaratha Bisla, who was totally free with the ball in the 37th minute. Buddhajnana Dalel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Jasalina Gurai tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 40th minute Kotisvara Sidhu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jasalina Gurai saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 42 minutes into the match, Keighley Citsdfy's goalkeeper Amrita Malhotra had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Aparajisnu Chattophadhyay. 45 minutes into the game, Kotisvara Sidhu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Jasalina Gurai was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Buddhajnana Dalel was the one to do the kick off. After a rather tough play, Peterlee's Haritaka Chahil got a free kick in the 53rd minute. 58 minutes into the match, Peterlee's goal looked a bit too open when Kotisvara Sidhu came free, but Jasalina Gurai reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Peterlee getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Jhilmit Sachdeva hit a great ball. Kumarasamy Manjrekar kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. When Ekayavan Khattqr was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 64 minutes had been played. After 65 played minutes Peterlee got a freekick which was hit by Ekayavan Khattqr. With a little luck, Peterlee's Jasalina Gurai got control of the ball when Apratiratha Deol tried to sneak it across the goal line. 76 minutes into the game, Attamjeet Verma was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Keighley Citsdfy's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Peterlee the free kick. The excitement rose when Peterlee's Astaratha Bisla after 78 played minutes turned away three defenders near the goal, and after that shot a ball that was too difficult for Keighley Citsdfy's goalkeeper to hold. Score! 1-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kotisvara Sidhu in the 81st minute of play forced Peterlee's goalkeeper Jasalina Gurai to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Buddhajnana Dalel in the 85th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Jasalina Gurai prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Apratiratha Deol's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jasalina Gurai read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 86th minute of play. Apratiratha Deol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the final whistle sounded Keighley Citsdfy left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Peterlee.
