Sonipat Stars Hold Off Faridabad Fighters 30-27 for Third Straight Win

Sonipat Stars made it back-to-back wins, defeating Faridabad Fighters 30-27 on January 31 at the Sports University of Haryana, Rai in a match that stayed close throughout. The narrow margin reflected the genuine resistance Faridabad Fighters showed under coach Balwan Singh Dahiya despite still searching for their first league win.

Ayan Lochab continued his strong start to the season for coach Ramesh Kumar's Sonipat Stars, while the team's defensive composure in the closing stages proved just enough to hold off a spirited Faridabad fightback built around the defensive pairing of Jaideep Dahiya and Yogesh Dahiya. It was the kind of tight finish that would become a recurring theme in Faridabad's season.

For Sonipat Stars, the win extended their unbeaten run following the statement victory over Bhiwani Bulls two days earlier, part of a run that would carry the team deep into playoff contention before missing out narrowly on points difference. For Faridabad Fighters, the defeat continued a winless start to the season that would ultimately stretch across the entire league stage.

This result underlined just how competitive the margins were throughout Kabaddi Champions League Season 1, even between a rising Sonipat Stars side and a Faridabad Fighters team still searching for its first win.
