India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Highlights: India recorded their fourth consecutive win of the Asian Champions Trophy despite South Korea coming closest to challenging their hegemony in the tournament thus far. India beat South Korea 3-1 and have thus all but confirmed a spot in the semi-finals for themselves. India were typically dominant in the first half, with Araijeet Singh Hundal giving them the lead and captain Harmanpreet Singh then doubling it with his 200th goal. However, South Korea wrestled back control and dominated possession for much of the second quarter, even pulling one goal back through a penalty corner at the end of it. Harmanpreet then scored his second in the third quarter and India then managed the game expertly in the fourth. India came into the match having thrashed Malaysia 8-1 just about 24 hours earlier....Read More
South Korea were second in the standings but India were so far away at the top that it was a surprise that the former managed to stage a proper challenge for the bronze-medallists today. Before the 8-1 hiding of Malaysia, India beat Japan 5-1 and China 3-0 in their opening game. Korea, on the other hand, started their tournament with a high-scoring 5-5 draw against Japan. This was followed by a 2-2 draw against Pakistan and they beat China 3-2 to record their first win of the tournament in the previous game.

India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Live Score: Sumit goes down writhing in pain just as the hooter goes off, not sure what the issue is. What is clear, though, is that this is the most India have been challenged thus far in this tournament. In the end though, they manage the game quite expertly throughout the first quarter and have now all but confirmed a spot in the semi-finals.

India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Live Score: India slow the tempo down
India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Live Score: India are the team with time on their side now and so they are taking their own sweet time making passes whenever they have the space.

India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Live Score: PC for India comes to nothing

India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Live Score: Some attacking intent from Korea
India vs South Korea, Asian Champions Trophy Live Score: Korea have been able to asser themselves a bit more, although India are still the dominant force in this quarter.
