Korea won a couple of penalty corners in the first quarter but failed to capitalise; however, they were able to take the lead when Yujin Lee (15') scored a field goal through a well-placed shot from inside the D.With a 1-0 lead, Korea entered the second quarter with an assertive approach and played a pressing game to dominate India. However, minutes before the half-time break, India began to put pressure on Korea by counterattacking, but they were unable to find an equaliser. Meanwhile, Korea shifted gears and started playing more aggressively which helped them double their lead as Jiyon Choi (30') converted a penalty corner with absolute precision to make sure that Korea went into the half-time break with a 2-0 lead.The third quarter began with Korea attacking again and winning an early penalty corner, which India's goalkeeper Aditi Maheshwari saved to prevent Korea from extending their lead.

Confident after getting back in the game, the Indian team increased the frequency of their attacks but no more goals were scored in the final quarter as the game ended in a 2-2 draw.The Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team will next play against Chinese Taipei in their fourth and last Pool A game on June 8 at 12:30 hrs IST.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
