The two teams began the first half with great pace and
attacking skills trying to create the initial pressure but the Indian team
proved to be more into business as they restricted the opponents and did not
allow them to score.
Without wasting much time, India ’s Preeti Dubey drew first
blood and slammed the ball past the goalkeeper in the 11th minute to open
the score card by 1-0. While DPR Korea was constantly looking to pierce the
defence of the opponents, India ’s
Jaspreet Kaur surged ahead and successfully converted a penalty corner in the
20th minute to take the lead to 2-0.
While, India
continued to produce a series of goals on regular intervals, DPR Korea was not
able to find any gaps and failed to convert the scoring opportunities. Indian
girls did not stop here as Lily penetrated the opponents defence and smacked
the fifth goal in the 31st minute which was closely followed by another
field goal by Punam Barla.
The first half of the game ended in favour of India
who took the lead over DPR Korea by 6-0.
The second half continued with the same momentum as Indian
eves dominated the match and maintained constant pressure on the girls of DPR
Korea. India ’s
Rani brilliantly struck a hat-trick through a beautiful series of field goals
in the 43rd, 44th and 46th minutes of the game and took the team’s score
line to 9-0.
The Indian girls were seen in more action and energy as they
efficiently managed to score the tenth goal in the 51st minute through
brilliant stick work of Lilima Minz. DPR Korea made clever attempts to enter India ’s
inner circle but failed to open their score card and Indian eves added three
more goals to their account in the 52nd, 64th and 70th minute
respectively and defeated DPR Korea taking winning scores to 13-0.
