The home team‚ winning the toss‚ chose to start of the proceedings of the match. As the referee’s whistle sounded‚ the game started with a light touch to the ball by the striker to the player close-in and then the long pass to the defender at the back started the battle of self-control‚ discipline‚ control and will-power.
