What a game this has been! As if a 3-3 result in regulation time was not enough, we had to experience the ups and downs of the penalty shootout! India, who had not won a game in this tournament before this, have turned their performances around, to beat the World No 3 Belgium 3-2 on penalties.
Van Doren runs in for the penalty, rounds Chikte, and shoots on goal, but Chikte sticks out a hand in the last moment, to make the save. And with that, India win the shootout 3-2!
Rupinder up next, tries to round the keeper up, as his shot is deflected. The ball rolls towards goal and rebounds off the post. However, Rupinder slides in and scores the penalty. 2-0 India!
59 - Belgium are putting great pressure on the Indian goal, but Harmanpreet again launches another counter, as he sets Sunil through. Sunil enters the circle from the right, and crosses, but there's nobody there.
55 - PC for Belgium! Luypaert lines up the shot, but there's some confusion among the Belgians, as they lose the plot completely, and make a hash of it.
52 - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! Charlier levels things up! An attack down the right was thwarted by Chikte, but Charlier was there on the rebound, to turn the ball into goal.
48 - Harmanpreet plays a brilliant ball from out of defence to Mandeep, who is set through on goal. The attacker shoots on the reverse, but it is saved by the keeper.
47 - PC for India! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! Rupinder slams the ball into the top corner! Belgium review the call, questioning whether the ball had gone out of the circle. However, the video umpire does not overturn the decision, and the goal stands.
46 - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!! Luypaert scores again, and levels the scores! Luypaert lined up his shot from the PC, as the ball took a couple of deflections and flew into the goal.
End of Q3! With that, we come to the end of the third quarter, as India keep the lead. They now need to hold out for the last 15 minutes, to make it to the semis.
