Asian Champions Trophy 2018: India vs South Korea, Live Match Updates

The Indians have maintained their unbeaten record thus far. What can Sjoerd Marijne and the Indian eves do differently tomorrow in the big final?? Can India claim their second successive gold? Find out tomorrow as India and Korea clash in the finals at 11:30 a.m. Goodbye for now.

The Indians started well and created chances initially but the Korean marking got progressively tighter and the Indian strikers were unable to play the fast attacking game which they have done so far. The Indians will have to adopt a different game plan for the final to offset the tight marking in midfield. Set pieces and long balls into the circle were the key today.
