against TRAUIANSPublished: 24 May 2018, 7:36 PM ISTHot News TextAaAaSmallAaMediumAaLargeADVERTISEMENTREMOVE AD Bengaluru, May 24 (IANS) SHindustan FC edged past TRAU FC 1-0 to begin their

campaign in the 2nd Division league final round at the FSV Arena here on Thursday.Although TRAU went into their opening match of the competition as hot favourites, it was Hindustan FC who

stunned them thanks to a second half stoppage time goal by substitute Tushar Chaudhary.The game started at a furious pace with TRAU� as expected� pressing high to nullify Hindustan FC's

effort to rapidly circulate the ball. It was a fascinating tactical battle although� at times� a little predictable.Resultantly, there was a lot of possession turn over and not enough in the

way of scoring chances.The first real opportunity came after 17 minutes when Hindustan FC goalkeeper Mithun Samonto made a save of Princewill Emeka� who had done well to turn the defense

and put himself into a shooting position. But the Nigerian forward failed to get any real power behind his shot.On the half-hour mark� Emeka hit a wild effort from a tight angle well off

target and eight minutes later winger Malemnganba Meitei rose unchallenged to head a free kick narrowly wide.Hindustan FC's only chance in the first-half fell to Khusant Chauhan in between

the TRAU defenders but his first touch let him down and the opportunity slipped by because of poor technique.Just before the half-time, Emeka again caused some panic in the Hindustan FC box,

but his crosses were wasted by Reisangmei Vashum and Angousana luwang as the two teams went into the break deadlocked at 0-0.TRAU continued to dictate matters at the start of the

second-half with Vashum shooting narrowly wide of the target five minutes into the session.Hidustan FC, though, were not to be outdone and came close to scoring in the 57th minute when

Nikhil Gehlot broke through on goal, but he was superbly denied in a one-on-one with TRAU goalkeeper Tajuddin.Hindustan FC's attacking kingpin Kushant Chauhan also had a tough afternoon, in

being closely marked and was not able to unleash his usual high-quality supply to the front men.Towards the end, TRAU showed more endeavour in attack but they were unable to breach a

Hindustan FC

defense expertly marshalled by Amestrong Alexandre and skipper Pushpender Kundu.TRAU dominated as the game drew to a close, but an inspired substitution from Hindustan FC coach Vikrant

Sharma sealed the victory, as Tushar Chaudhary kept his cool and nudged home the winner with less than four minutes to play.The 2nd Division league final round returns to the field on Sunday

May 27, 2018. Hindustan FC will take on Ozone FC while TRAU will hope to get something from a game against Real Kashmir FC.--IANSdm/gau/vm
