...
The stats ladies and gentleman - 44 circle entries and 23 shots on goal for the Indians who earned 10 PCs and converted 4.

Seventeen circle entries and 8 shots on goal for Japan who failed to convert any of their 6 PCs.

Sixty-two percent possession for the home side who have made it to the final - and more importantly progressed to the next round of the Olympic qualifiers
...
After matching the Indians in every department in the first quarter - and partly in the second as well - the Asian Games champions surrender meekly to an Indian side who kept up a blistering pace but were found wanting in the striking circle at times

Harmanpreet, playing his 100th international opened the scoring for the Indians off a PC with Varun scoring the second off another - and it was the initial PCs which helped the Indians strike back before the strikers ran riot
...
The Japanese flattered only to deceive at the Kalinga Stadium after opening the scoring as early as the second minute and restored parity after the Indians had score two - but fell apart after they felt a few umpiring decisions had gone against them and lost their cool which aided the home team in no small measure.

The Indians were allowed a free run as Aikman's team seemed to lose the plot altogether and could never find their way back
