<strong>Pro Kabaddi 2019, Day 52, Match 1: U Mumba vs UP Yoddha</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<div>
	A defensive masterclass by U Mumba helped them beat UP Yoddha 39-36 in a Pro Kabaddi League match at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Mahalunge, Balewadi, Pune on Wednesday.</div>
<br>
<div>
	Surinder Singh secured a High 5 (6 tackle points) and Fazel Atrachali (3 tackle points) were the heroes in Mumbai&rsquo;s defence, while Abhishek Singh led the attack with a Super 10 (11 raid points), as&nbsp; U Mumba displaced UP Yoddha in the fifth place of the points table.</div>
<br>
<div>
	An evenly fought first half saw UP Yoddha start on the front foot. Both teams had a high line of defence who were in no mood to let the raiders have an easy day and it was Sumit&rsquo;s tackle in the fourth minute that set the tone early. A few uncharacteristic errors from the Mumbai defence allowed Yoddha to dominate the first 10 minutes of the match with the UP team clinching their first All-Out in the 9th minute and open up a 9-point lead. But U Mumba were in no mood to take a beating and their defenders got into the game after the All-Out, thwarting all the raiders that dared to come in their half. Ashu Singh&rsquo;s Super Tackle on Mumbai&rsquo;s Abhishek Singh gave a temporary revival for Yoddha but the Mumbai team clinched their All-Out with under two minutes remaining to half time. The half time ended with scores 16-15 in favour of the UP side.&nbsp;</div>
<br>
<div>
	The second half saw both U Mumba and UP Yoddha trade blow for blow. A two-point raid by Arjun Deshwal gave U Mumba the lead for the first time in the fourth minute of the half but UP Yoddha immediately clawed their back with a Super Tackle.</div>
<br>
<div>
	Both sides kept pushing it to the extremes in the dying minutes as defenders stepped up their game. Surinder Singh secured a High 5 (his second of the season) for U Mumba. The most important move of the match came with slightly less than six minutes left in the clock by Abhishek Singh. His three-point raid gave Mumbai a lead and Mumbai secured an All-out in the subsequent raid by Yoddha to open up a three-point lead. A three-point raid in the dying minutes by Rishank Devadiga made it a nervous ending for U Mumba but they managed to hold to their nerves to secure an important win.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
