Full Time! And with that, we come to the end of the game, as India complete a massive 6-2 drubbing of Malaysia. They have all but sealed their spot for the summit clash of the Hockey Asia Cup 2017. Mathematically, they need just a draw against Pakistan to make it through. Realistically the +4 goal difference can go a long way to help them out in this regard.
59' - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! And its SARDAR SINGH! This is the Sardar of old, that we know. Akashdeep plays it down the channel inside the circle, as Sardar ran on to it, and on the run, played a reverse shot into the far post from a very tight angle!
58' - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL!!!!!!! Ramadan pulls another one back for Malaysia! He received a long ball well inside the India circle, turned and poked it below the keeper's feet.
55' - Razie enters the circle, turns, and pulls the trigger, but his shot is miscued, as his stick flies into the air, and grazes Chinglensana's head. That riled up a few of the Indian players, who had a heated exchange with the Malaysians. However, the umpires intervened in time, to cool down the situation.
54- Rahim weaved his way into the circle, went past three Indian defenders to earn a PC. However, India have challenged the call. However, the decision stands, and India lose their referral.
53' - Ramandeep got the ball on the edge ofthe circle on the left flank, jinked past a defender and tried to earn a PC, but his efforts failed, as he ended up hitting the ball on his own foot.
50' - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rahim converts a PC for Malaysia, to pull one goal back for them. He received the ball at the top of the circle, and flicked it towards the near post, as the ball took a deflection off an Indian stick and went in.
49' - Satpal snatches the ball in midfield and passes it to Lalit in space. He gets a 1-vs-1 situation, but then comes under some pressure from the defence, and gives away the ball.
46' - Gurjant gets things underway, but Malaysia immediately get into the attack. However, India negotiate the attack and settle for a Malaysian long corner.
End of Q3! This has been all about India! They have gone on a complete rampage against the Malaysians, who have shown good form this tournament. However, it does bot seem like they have any way back into the match now.
44' - Chance! Tenku receives the ball inside the India circle, with his back to the goal. He was completely unmarked, as he turned and took his dhot, but again, his shot was well wide.
43' - PC for Malaysia! Chinglensana did brilliantly to get a stick onto that shot, after which the ball was cleared. Akashdeep did brilliantly to sprint backwards and prevent the clearance from going out of play, and played a long through ball to Gurjant, but his pass was a little too ahead.
40' - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!! SV Sunil makes it 5-0 for India! Sardar steals the ball in India's circle and plays a=out a reverse stick to Sunil, who plays it through to Gurjant. Gurjant runs past a defender and enters the box, switches to his left side, and whips it across goal. A sliding Sunil knocks the ball over the line with his stick. 5-0 India!
37' - Tenku tries to win a PC as he heads towards the India circle, and they immediately go for the review. But the replays show that the impact with Satbir's foot was outside the circle. Its only a free hit.
33' - GGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gurjant makes it four! Akashdeep weaves his way past a couple of defenders on the right side, and crosses it across the face of the goal. Gurjant, who was waiting in exactly the correct spot, just had to tap it into an empty net. 4-0 India!
Half Time! Malaysia have dominated the proceedings towards the end of the 2nd quarter, but the Indian defenders have been able to successfully foil them outside their circle, on most occasions. It has been a rather frustrating half for Malaysia, who have had their chances, but have been wasteful in front of goal. India, on the other hand, have shown their clinical side today, taking a big 3-0 lead into the dressing room at half time.
24' - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uthappa gets the third one! Ramandeep takes a shot, but it was deflected off a stick, and falls to Uthappa, who slams it into the far post.
