The Indian women’s hockey team produced an all-round performance to notch a 3-1 win over higher-ranked South Korea in the fourth match of their five-match series.
The victory for world No. 10 India saw them take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series with a match remaining to be played on Sunday.
Two goals in the first quarter by Gurjit Kaur (2nd min) and Deepika (14th min) put India in a commanding position while Poonam Rani’s field goal in the 47th minute secured the victory for the visitors as Mi Hyun Park (57th min) scored a consolation goal for the hosts.
The early stages of the match saw India put pressure on the South Korean defence to win themselves a penalty corner in only the second minute, which was converted by Gurjit Kaur as she put the ball past goalkeeper Heabin Jung to give the visitors the lead.
