India started off looking confident and purposeful in the first quarter. England came back hard in the second to go into half-time with a 1-0 lead. India did some great work but failed to score. England went 2-0 up at the end of the third quarter. India had their chances. In the final quarter, Sophie Bray looked awesome and India just seemed to wither away.
ENGLAND WIN BRONZE. FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL THOSE WHO MISSED THE MATCH- IT WAS'NT REALLY AS BAD THE SCORELINE INDICATES- UNTIL THE THIRD QUARTER!!! SOPHIE BRAY WAS IN IMPERIOUS FORM AND INDIA DISINTEGRATED ALL OF A SUDDEN!!
To be fair, India have done all the hard work, created some great chances, and almost got a goal on two ocassions!! It is England who managed to score, however, with a superb strike by Sophie Bray. India have to attack and come out with all guns blazing.
India looked extremely confident early on. The Indians combined well to exert a lot of pressure on England in the first quarter. England looked more purposeful in the second quarter. They kept up the pressure, earned a PC and managed to take the lead. Harendra Singh will have a word with the girls for sure. What will he tell them??
