This rule has to go. Too flawed . Ridiculuous that Telugu got four points here. To explain the event. The raider had his finger tips in the lobby and lost balance. The puneri defense closed him down. But because he was in the lobby first it was counted as all defenders also out. |

| Raid 57 | PU 25 - 22 TT | Mohit Goyat (PU) | That was so close. Sandeep kandola took care of the dangling hand of mohit, else mohit would have taken 5 Telugu defenders with him. But instead mohit has to go to the bench. |
| Raid 58 | PU 25 - 25 TT | Siddharth Sirish Desai (TT) | Match turning moment. Another 3 point raid from big Sid |
| Raid 60 | PU 27 - 26 TT | Siddharth Sirish Desai (TT) | Superb team effort. Vishal puts in the tackle, Sid gets out of it, sombir comes in, Sid looked like he was getting out but Vishal came back into the tackle. |
| Raid 63 | PU 27 - 26 TT | Mohit Goyat (PU) | Mohit should have looked for the bonus therre. He missed a trick by not pushing for the bonus at this point. The next raid will be a do or die raid now |
| Raid 65 | PU 28 - 26 TT | Mohit Goyat (PU) | सुरेंदर सिंह की पुरानी गलती करने की आदत बरक़रार, इम्प्लसिव टैकल करने का प्रयास, मिडलाइन के काफी करीब, मोहित एक अंक के साथ सुरछित वापस |
| Raid 66 | PU 28 - 27 TT | Ankit Beniwal (TT) | Great speed from Ankit Beniwal. We saw this form from him in the Haryana State event. Sombir has looked good this game but Ankit Beniwal really turned on the speed. |
| Raid 71 | PU 28 - 28 TT | Aslam Inamdar (PU) | In his previous raid aslam tried for the bonus. But should have made multiple attempts. And that error in the previous raid seems him trying something. Funny Inna do or die raid. Young raider he will learn from these moments |

| Raid 83 | PU 34 - 33 TT | Mohit Goyat (PU) | क्या यह है वो रेड जो पलटेगा बाजी पलटन के पक्ष में, बेहतरीन चुस्ती और फुर्ती के7 फेम मोहित गोयत के द्वारा, अति रोमांचक मुक़ाबला An error from Ankit Beniwal here and Mohit was aware of it. Fantastic reaction from this K7 star.. Coming up in the next game is another K7 super star Meetu. |
| Raid 84 | PU 34 - 33 TT | Rakesh Gowda (TT) | Another error of judgement from an youngster. Rakesh made only one attempt at the bonus and ran back. He should have made another attempt . After all the game was riding on that raid. They take the review but there is no bonus there... Telugu should feel lucky that this was a close game. That 4 point madness raid and two super raids from big Sid kept them in the contest , but puneri were the better team. Much better to be fair. |
