Both the teams created opportunities in the third quarter but without any result.

The Wizards, however, made a great start to the fourth quarter as Thimmaiah got the visitors on level terms scoring from a rebound after De Nooijer's intial touch hit the body of Ranchi custodian Francisco Cortes. It took two brilliant field goals from the Rhinos in a span of three minutes to seal the game and a place in tomorrow's title clash in their favour. Wilson scored his second goal of the day in the 64th minute from the top of the 'D' after a solo run from the mid-field. Two minutes later, a young Mandeep celebrated his maiden selection in the Indian team in style when he hit his 10th goal in the tournament by virtue of sheer individual brilliance. Mandeep, who was selected in the Indian team for the Hockey World League 2 in New Delhi later this month, lobbed the ball above the head of UP goal-keeper after receiving long scoop to send the crowd into frenzy. Victorious Ranchi coach Gregg Clarke and skipper Moritz Furste was full of praise for Mandeep, terming the young forward as the future star of Indian hockey. "Mandeep was simply brilliant. When we first saw him he was a little boy just jumping around the field. But he has evolved as a player as the tournament progressed," Clark said. "I hope you will enjoy Mandeep in the next 10 years to come," Furste added. The Wizards coach Roelant Oltmans obviously was a disappointed man but admitted that the Rhinos were by far the better side today. "We are obviously disappointed. I feel we didn't start well. Ranchi were the better team, they made remarkable forays," he said. Oltmans, however, was critical of Ranchi's second goal which was upheld after the Wizards went for the referral. "Ranchi's second goal was important because everyone saw it was not a goal. I feel you either don't use the referral system or use it properly," he said.
