Full Time! What a frantic end to the match that turned out to be. While none of that would have affected the result, it was a rather exciting finish for the fans. With this result, Germany secure their top spot in Pool B, while India finish bottom with just one point. However, the position does not matter as such, as all the teams make it to the quarterfinals anyway. As things stand, India are set to face Belgium in the last eight.
59 - PC for India! Harmanpreet lines it up but it seems to have caught a German foot, and India get a PC. But Germany have reviewed the call, and replays show that it came off a stick. ITs a long corner for India.
58 - Germany are using all their experience, as they have slowed the game down. They are holding the ball up-field. When under too much pressure, they are playing it back to their defenders, and are keeping India off the ball.
50 - Manpreet averts a dangerous attack by Germany, and plays along aerial ball to Mandeep, upfield, but the German defenders are alert to the danger, and cut out the pass.
49 - Furk is looking lively down the left flank, as he twists and turns his way around the Indian defenders. Germany have gotten the momentum back in Q4
46 - India get the proceedings underway, but Ruhr breaks away down the left flank, and makes his way towards the goal. However, India keeper Suraj comes off his line and makes a good save to keep India in the game.
End of Q3! And with that, we come to the end of Q3. This has been a better quarter for India, but the Germans have come closer to goal this time around as well. India have shown some intent, but have not been able to create any clear-cut chances.
39 - Sunil makes some space on the right flank, plays it to Sumit, who fizzes in a cross, but it is harmless, and goes out of play even before reaching the near post.
36 - PC for Germany! Furk pumps it in, Haner lines up the shot, as it hits the post, bounced three times on the line and comes out. Furk was there at the far post, but he could not react to it quickly enough.
33 - The proceedings have been a bit slower in the second half, but crucially the momentum seems to have swung,as India hogg possession, while Germany play on the counter.
32 - India have come out with great intent in the second half, as they use swift movements, to stretch the German defence. However, they seem to be rushing things a bit too much, and Germany have been able to hold fort till now.
Half Time! And we come to the end of the first half, with Germany leading 2-0. The Germans have dominated the proceedings, but India have shown good intent on the counter. Despite having just 32% possession, the Indians have managed to get 5 shots on goal, as compared to Germany's 2. Unfortunately for the hosts, though, Germany ended up scoring with both those shots.
