India have beaten Malaysia and thus top the table in Donghae. They earned full points from a match they dominated, but the Indian girls will know for sure that they should have won this match with a far more comfortable margin.
54' India hanging on with six minutes left when they could well have been comfortably ahead!!!!! Malaysia doing all they can to enter the Indian circle!!!
Malaysia have managed to pull one back off a penalty stroke earned through a rare counter attack. That is PRECISELY what India have to be wary off as they have a two-goal lead with 15 minutes to play. Lalremsiani scored a peach of a goal!!!
44' If India had converted even half of their total chances thus far they would have been ahead by several more goals!!!!! Such has been their domination today!!
32' India looking to advance. Monika in the shooting circle. Eight Malaysian players in an around their own circle. BUT THEY CANNOT STOP VANDANA. GOAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!
India have dominated the second quarter quite ominously. They should have scored at least on two ocassions. Yet, on the scoresheet they have just a one-goal lead. Will India have to pay for not making use of numerous opportunites??
22' It has been India all the way this quarter, dominating the midfield and getting some good long balls in the shooting circle. Malaysia clear at last!!!
20' India looking like scoring any moment now. The girls had three close chances. The ball being scrambled away from the goalmouth by the Malaysian defence.
14' Its the first time in the tournament that India have failed to score in the opening quarter. Will Sjoerd Marijne change his strategy for the next quarter??
11' Vandana make a great solo run and earns a free hir for India just outside the Malaysian 25. Indian cannot capitalise and Malaysian launch a counter. The pace of the match is FRENETIC!!! India back in the Malaysian circle!!!
9' The Malaysian defence has been solid so far, not allowing the Indian strikers too close to goal. Too many Malaysian defenders in their own circle denying space to the Indian forwards.
