Argentines Gonzalo Peillat and Agustin Mazzilli helped Uttar Pradesh Wizards record their first home win in the Hockey India League (HIL) here today.
Peillat (19th, 32nd) converted two penalty corners to make it 2-1 for the hosts after Mark Gleghorne had given Punjab the lead with a drag-flick goal in the 10th minute.
Mazzilli then stole his compatriot’s thunder with an incredible field goal in the 43rd minute that brought the supporters to their feet. Mazzilli scored from one of the tightest angles possible with a fierce reverse-stick strike, making it 4-1 for the Wizards.
The UP team climbed to the third spot with 23 points, pushing Punjab to the fourth with 22 points. — PTI
