Sabr steals a late win from Ikhlas |
Feb 27, 2018 |
This game had many implications, Ikhlas had to break their scoring woes and they had a tough task ahead of them facing the number one seed Sabr.
Was an even pace from both teams 5 on 5 then on a PP Waqar Khan wired one past Yusuf breaking the scoring up. Ikhlas needed to score first to keep momentum, but were forced to play catchup.
Ikhlas trying to keep their cool came out with a bit more urgency. Lot of back and forth. Salman Alvi took a clean pass from Akib off the face off in the offensive zone and scored past a screened goalie. Making it a 1-1 game and giving Ikhlas a spark.
Saajid Bhayat scored on a power play late in the game make it 2-1 for Sabr after some suspect officiating. Lots of chances, mixed with a late penalty against Yousaf Sowdagar gave Ikhlas a 6 on 3. Sadly, Waqar Khan got to the ball and cleared it from his zone into an empty net.
Final score 3-1 in a very competitive fast paced game with many penalties from both teams.
