Churchill displayed a great performance in the second half and with some tactical changes and substitutions made by both teams. One such was the change to be made NEROCA in the 87^th minute. Sushil was preparing to come on to replace Vorbe and suddenly there was a rush from the fourth official and other staff towards the Churchill Brothers bench. There was a hold up of the match due to the physiotherapist of the team needing immediate medical attention.

TFG reliably learnt that physio John Joseph suffered an attack of seizure (fit) and needed to be rushed to the hospital. He is still in the hospital but condition is known to be stable as of now and may be discharged today. The delay had nine minutes added to the game.

Churchill Brothers play their next game on Friday, February 2 at 5:30 pm when they host Minerva Punjab FC.
