In an earlier classification match for the bronze medal, Odisha edged out Uttar Pradesh 3-2 on penalties after full time failed to provide a result.

Both Haryana and Punjab played cautious hockey in the first two quarters and much of the action remained confined to the mid-field with neither side wanting to take chances given the stakes.

It was an action-packed second session as the teams went for goal, unfurling some interesting hockey with frequent raids on the rival citadel time and again. It was, however, Haryana who made the most of their chances as Sahil Sharma leading by example netted the match-winner in the 40th minute.

In the day’s earlier game, a disciplined and better organized Odisha needed a penalty shootout to seal the bronze with a 3-2 verdict over UP.

Laban Lugun, Sunil Jojo and skipper Sunit Lakra converted their tries for Odisha while Sudeep Chirmako and Liban Ekka missed and for Uttar Pradesh, misses by Ajeet Kumar, Ajay Yadav and Arun Sahani proved costly even as Chandan Yadav and Deepak Patel converted their opportunities.

In women’s Under-17 league action, Haryana swamped hosts Maharashtra 5-0 and Odisha beat Mizoram 4-2 while in the U-21 category, Haryana thrashed UP 4-2, Punjab were held to a goal-less draw by Chandigarh.
