Men's Hockey Asia Cup Final Highlights: India crowned champions

28' - India double their LEAD!

India have doubled their lead against the run of play. An excellent aerial ball from who else but captain Harmanpreet Singh?

Sanjay collects it cleanly and sets up Dilpreet Singh. The latter slots the ball past the goalkeeper. 

IND 2-0 KOR

27' - Good defence from Abhishek

Abhishek is putting in the hard yards. He is the lynchpin in front of the goal when India penetrates the circle and now that South Korea create a move and penetrate, he stands tall with a brilliant interception to cut the move short.

IND 1-0 KOR

23' - A drop in pace

After a fast-paced first quarter and a frantic start to the second, the intensity has dropped down by quite a bit. Both teams happy to build slowly from the back now.

Those relentless attacks from India have also reduced now.

IND 1-0 KOR

19' - Penalty corner decision reversed

Rajinder Singh with a good run from the left flank and he pushes the ball to a defenders feet. The umpire hands a penalty corner to India.

South Korea take their own sweet time before asking for a review. They say it was a dangerous ball as Rajinder tried to take the ball in his control during his run into the circle.

The TV umpire agrees. It is a free out for South Korea. India's penalty corner has been reversed.

IND 1-0 KOR

18' - Green card, Jugraj!

The evening just keeps going from bad to worse for Jugraj Singh. He has now picked up a green card and is sent out for two minutes.

South Korea has a man advantage now.

IND 1-0 KOR

18' - India continue to press forward

Three minutes into the third quarter and India continue to press forward. This is a good sign but the only question is if they can make something out of these constant attacks.

IND 1-0 KOR

END OF FIRST QUARTER!

End of the first quarter in Rajgir. India scored early and by early I mean even before a minute into the contest.

Since then India have showed the intent to attack. They have been incisive with their press forward but haven't really been able to find the net again.

Jugraj did miss a penalty stroke but the South Korean goalkeeper has also done a brilliant job so far.

IND 1-0 KOR

13' - Good defence from South Korea

Sukhjeet Singh penetrates the circle and puts the ball to Abhishek. The latter takes a moment before crossing it back to Sukhjeet, who is in front of the goal by now.

But South Korean defence stands tall to avert any danger. 

IND 1-0 KOR

9' - Jugraj misses a penalty stroke!

That's not what you want to see. Certainly not in a big match like this.

India have been handed a penalty stroke for a stick tackle inside the shooting circle. This is India's opportunity to double their lead.

With Harmanpreet Singh out on the bench, the onus is on Jugraj Singh to take the shot.

Jugraj's stroke is blocked rather comfortably by the South Korean goalkeeper. How costly will this prove to be?

IND 1-0 KOR

9' - SAVE, SOUTH KOREA!

India moving forward fluidly and Vivek Sagar Prasad puts the ball to Dilpreet Singh. The latter's deflection is saved by South Korea.

IND 1-0 KOR
