THE STATS, LADIES AND GENTS - THE INDIANS HAD ONLY 5 SHOTS ON GOAL - THE KOREANS HAD EVEN FEWER - 4 IN TOTAL!!! THE INDIANS EARNED 2 PC's AND CONVERTED BOTH - ALL CREDIT TO THE INDIAN DEFENCE THAT THE KOREANS FAILED TO EARN A SINGLE PC - THAT ESSENTIALLY MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. THE KOREANS GOT THEIR ONLY GOAL FROM A PENALTY STROKE - WHICH WAS RATHER CONTROVERSIAL - AS IT SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DRAGGED!
