ONE WORD - CARNAGE - DESCRIBES WHAT TRANSPIRED ON THE PITCH TODAY - THE INDIANS WERE UNFORGIVING, RELENTLESS, AND RUTHLESSLY EFFICIENT

THE INDIANS EARNED 21 PCs - CONVERTED 9 OF THEM, SCORED 17 GOALS FROM OPEN PLAY (WITH 39 SHOTS ON GOAL FROM OPEN PLAY) - HONG KONG HAD NO PCs AND NO SHOTS ON GOAL EITHER!!!

VARIATION - DIRECTED TO THE LEFT THIS TIME - SUNIL SCORES!!!!!

THE INDIANS HAVE THE PC THEY WANTED - CAN THEY SCORE?

THE INDIANS WANT A PC - ONE LAST PC BEFORE THE END OF Q3

43 A string of long one-touch passes much like a practise session here by the Indians - for once they cannot get the final touch right

The PC goes all wrong this time - HK survive for now

The injection is far too short - if it was indeed deliberate - it did not go as planned!!!!

40' Handball by HK and India earn a PC

INDIA 17 - HONG KONG 0

39' Whoops - not for long though - Mandeep sets Akashdeep up - no mistake this time from the Indian strikers!!!

INDIA 16 - HONG KONG 0

A NEAT AND CLEVER VARIATION FINDS LALIT POSITIONED TO THE RIGHT - WHO DEFLECTS THE BALL IN DEFTLY!!!!
