Both the  teams were new to the format, but Haryana was lucky to take their  chances after Odisha that gave the northerners some leeway to plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">When Odisha\u2019s captain Stanli Victor Minz and Amon  Mirash Tirkey failed to put the ball in, Haryana went 1-0 through Manish  Rana\u2019s goal. Odisha rallied into the match through Mikhal Barla and  Bikas Kujur and even as Haryana missed through Siddhant Gautam, Ranjit  Singh and Naveen Antil made sure they had the last laugh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In the regulation time, it was Odisha that took the  lead early in the match through Ignacius Toppo, who scored in the 6th  minute. Up by a goal the easterners played textbook <a href=\"hockey-news.html\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/hockey-news.html\">hockey <\/a>through  excellent passing and set plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Haryana kept finding the gaps in vain even as their  short-game came unstuck as Odisha defence led by Dilip Toppo and Deepak  Kullu stood firm. It took the 17th minute in the second half for  Haryana to get their bearing together when Manish Rana scored an  equalizer. As<span> <\/span>they came back into life, prolific scorer Ranjit Singh put Haryana in the lead three minutes later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Down by the reverses, Odisha withdrew into their  half, but that silence was only just for a while. Mikhal Barla and Bikas  Kujur upped the ante as the time wore on before their efforts got  rewarded one minute from close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">On a move set up by Barla, Odisha captain Minz scored a blinder to give them some more time to make a game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The 15 minutes of extra-time, however, failed to  break the ice even as it was Odisha who controlled for most part while  Haryana was always in the hunt for penalty corners. Referee obliged them  thrice, but their stoppages were shoddy to say the least.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>RESULTS Final: <\/strong>Haryana 2 (Manish Rana 52nd, Ranjit  Singh 55th) beat Odisha 2 (Ignacius Toppo 6th, Stanli Victor Minz 69th) &#8211;
