Air India, MP enter quarters

Air India had earlier won two matches against Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan 4-1 and 9-0, while Madhya Pradesh had won against Nagaland 9-2 before losing to Air India in Group E encounters.

Today Air India opened their floodgates with a field goal by Naveen Sagwan in the third minute before Vikas Pillay and Somanna Pradhan added two more goals to the tally in the seventh and ninth minute.

Naveen sounded the board two more times in the 10th and 13th minute with field goals, taking his goal tally to three.

Sandeep Singh scored two more field goals for Air India in 15th and 22nd minute before Birendra Lakra made it 8-0 in the 28th minute.

There was no change in the script even after the two teams switched sides as Air India continued to put pressure on the hapless Nagaland.

Vikram Pillay bulged the net twice in 36th and 37th minute to extend Air India's lead to 10-0.

Birendra struck his second goal, while Vikram hit his third in next 20 minutes before Somanna struck twice in 62nd and 68th minute. Vinod Pillay then smashed two more goals to make it 16-0. (MORE)
