NEW DELHI:Super Strikers secured a 6-4 win over Chanmari Zothan Futsal in the second encounter of the Hero Futsal Club Championship today (November 5, 2021).

The match started with both teams full of energy, pressing and not giving any room to breathe. Chanmari Zothan though first got on the front foot, as they tested the opposition defence a few times. However, around the 10-minute mark, thunderstruck twice as Surya U K netted a brace in a couple of minutes.

Chanmari Zothan were never going to give up easily. They scored twice as well before the half-time whistle as Avida and George scored from close range after some beautiful build-up play. Just before the break, Vijay made a slick move count and ensured that his team had an advantage heading into the second half.

After the break, Barry Francis scored another goal for the Super Strikers to regain their 2-goal lead. The Bengaluru-based side took the game by the scruff of the neck after that as Vijay scored his second goal of the game. Chanmari Zothan scored twice after that to put Super Strikers under considerable pressure once more, with Lalmuankima and Sangtea bagging the goals. However, Vijay netted his third goal of the game, completing the first hat-trick of the Hero Futsal Club Championship and securing his side all three points.

Both sides will take a lot of positives from this game, but Chanmari Zothan will look to improve as much as they can before their match against Baroda FC.
