Hjorring, Denmark: After clinical performances in the group stages of Dana Cup, Durbar Sports Academy could not continue the winning momentum in the first match of the knockout stages as they lost to Ready of Norway 1-0.
Durbar began well but lost their way through as the match progressed. The players of Ready were much taller than the Durbar guys and it became difficult for them to reach to the ball.
Durbar failed to utilise the wing play and it became a huge advantage for the opponents. Their two defenders were electric on the defense of Ready. Durbar players after trailing 1-0 did not lose hope at all as they kept on fighting till the final whistle was blown.
Although they lost the match after a tremendous fight, the nation is proud of these guys as the way they played the whole tournament and produced some clinical performances in the group stages blowing away their oppositions with a big margin.
