Riding on a brace by Jugraj Singh, Chandigarh Dynamos scored a comfortable 5-2 win over Imphal Rangers in the Premier Hockey League Tier II match in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Jugraj drew first blood in the 30th minute and rounded off the campaign with a drag flick in the 69th as the Dynamos proved their supremacy over the Rangers.
Ravipal Singh (41st), Harbajan Singh (56th) and Mandeep Singh (65th) sounded the board once each for the Dynamos while Gopal Singh (33rd) and Brojen Singh (59th) scored for the Rangers.
After a barren first quarter, both the teams upped the tempo in the second and the increased pace began to show results in the latter part as Jugraj scored for the Dynamos at the stroke of half time and Gopal equalised three minutes later.
The Rangers, however, seemed to have run out of steam after the break as the Dynamos dominated the play and struck twice before Brojen reduced the margin with a brilliant solo effort.
However, the Dynamos continued to pile the pressure and Mandeep and Jugraj scored once each in the last five minutes to round off the tally.
