05:41 (IST)12 AUG 2016

That's it for tonight! Join us again for the Indian Eves' final fixture in Rio Olympics 2016 on Saturday, 13th August at 06:30pm IST.

05:33 (IST)12 AUG 2016

India languish at the bottom two spots in Group B. A 36-year wait has indeed come to an end with their Rio 2016 qualification, but their results show how much work is yet to be done if they are to challenge the top international sides.

05:30 (IST)12 AUG 2016

With the third loss on the trot and no victories on their board yet, India are confirmed of a group stage exit now.

05:28 (IST)12 AUG 2016

FULL TIME! India 0-3 USA.

05:27 (IST)12 AUG 2016

60' - USA clear from the D. Almost over now!

05:27 (IST)12 AUG 2016

India at the moment are going to end up last in their group with goal difference taking them below Japan. Both of them have a solitary point.

05:27 (IST)12 AUG 2016

59' - Anuradha fails to trap the long ball in midfield. USA have returned to attack the Indian D again!

05:25 (IST)12 AUG 2016

It's becoming hard for the Indians to even get out of their own half let alone have a crack at goal.

05:25 (IST)12 AUG 2016

58' - Lakra has foiled another US attack!

05:24 (IST)12 AUG 2016

57' - Deepika gets a free hit as USA go down to 10 after a yellow card! India will enjoy the one-woman advantage for the rest of the match!

05:24 (IST)12 AUG 2016

The match didn’t quite go as the Blueskirts would have desired. The Americans tightened their hold on the proceedings and clearly had a better spell as compared to the Indians throughout the match.

05:22 (IST)12 AUG 2016

55' - The shot is deflected miles into the air above the Indian crossbar. Steered to safety for now.

05:21 (IST)12 AUG 2016

55' - 9th penalty corner to USA!

05:22 (IST)12 AUG 2016

The Indians have again got totally outclassed. Another wasteful chance and the girls are now five minutes away from their third defeat of this competition.

05:21 (IST)12 AUG 2016

55' - PC stands! India lose their referral as well.

05:20 (IST)12 AUG 2016

55' - Skipper Sushila has referred it upstairs. They don't agree with the decision given.

05:19 (IST)12 AUG 2016

55' - 8th penalty corner to USA!

05:19 (IST)12 AUG 2016

54' - Danger averted in defence. India did manage a late goal against Australia last night. Will there be one here?

05:18 (IST)12 AUG 2016

53' - PC to USA! It's taken a touch off Sushila's feet on the goal-line.

05:16 (IST)12 AUG 2016

Penalty Corners till now:
USA - 6
India - 0.

05:16 (IST)12 AUG 2016

53' - It's a PC to USA after hitting Ekka's foot.

05:15 (IST)12 AUG 2016

53' - It's shocking to see how simple the task is for the opponents to score field goals against the Women in Blue. All 3 have been scored from open play so far!

05:15 (IST)12 AUG 2016

It will be very difficult for India to qualify for the knockout stages from here.

05:14 (IST)12 AUG 2016

52' - GOAL! Melissa Gonzalez makes it 3-0 for USA.

05:13 (IST)12 AUG 2016

52' - The Americans have settled deep into their half now. Indians made to chase them down hard.

05:13 (IST)12 AUG 2016

Rani Rampal has been far from impressive. To reach the next round, India needed the Haryanvi to fire but this has been a below-par performance from her so far.

05:12 (IST)12 AUG 2016

51' - Rani Rampal is out with a green card. Ominous signs, these!

05:12 (IST)12 AUG 2016

This team is known for their defence, so it will be really tricky to break through their defence. But Vandana has given her heart and soul till now. Won't be surprised to see her name on the scoresheet!

05:11 (IST)12 AUG 2016

50' - Savita has pulled off another fine save!

05:11 (IST)12 AUG 2016

49' - Free-hit to back-to-back long corners, but possession unchanged. Still USA!

05:11 (IST)12 AUG 2016

The way USA are checking India’s progress as soon as they take control is making it very difficult for the Women in Blue to seize an equaliser.

05:10 (IST)12 AUG 2016

49' - USA get a free hit in the final third.

05:10 (IST)12 AUG 2016

48' - Navjot and Sushila were cramped for room on the left corner. USA regain control.

05:09 (IST)12 AUG 2016

With fifteen minutes left on the clock, India has come out all guns blazing and, straightaway on the attack.

05:08 (IST)12 AUG 2016

47' - India still on the front foot. A heartening sight, this!

05:08 (IST)12 AUG 2016

46' - Deepika Thakur with a reverse hit misses the target by a fair distance.

05:07 (IST)12 AUG 2016

Q4 underway!

05:05 (IST)12 AUG 2016

End of Q3. USA lead India by 2 goals to nil. India left with some catching-up to do if they are to avoid slumping to their third defeat of the tournament.

05:05 (IST)12 AUG 2016

End of Q3. India 0-2 USA.

05:04 (IST)12 AUG 2016

45' - The drag-flick has been deflected high above the woodwork. Q3 approaching the close here.

05:04 (IST)12 AUG 2016

Roelant Oltmans', coach of Indian men's team believes Vandana is one of the best strikers in the world at this moment. And why not? She has been the only player who is trying to fetch a goal for the 'Women in Blue'.

05:03 (IST)12 AUG 2016

44' - 5th PC for USA.

05:02 (IST)12 AUG 2016

44' - Navjot comes to help Vandana but both see it taken away by USA.

05:01 (IST)12 AUG 2016

42' - It slipped right through Savita's legs after a remarkable solo move by the American.

05:01 (IST)12 AUG 2016

This is her fifth goal in this  competition. Bam makes a meal out of the poor clearance to give the US a 2-0 lead going into the final quarter.

05:00 (IST)12 AUG 2016

42' - GOAL! Kathleen Bam with the second strike for USA!

05:00 (IST)12 AUG 2016

Vandana Kataria, the forward from Haridwar has been the most impressive player so far for India. WITHOUT A DOUBT.

04:59 (IST)12 AUG 2016

41' - Vandana is giving away the ball far too easily to her markers. 

04:59 (IST)12 AUG 2016

41' - USA make an unforced error on the left and Vandana resumes the Indian charge!

04:58 (IST)12 AUG 2016

Certainly this has been a welcome sight after a below average display across the first two quarters, but can they find the critical equaliser now? Time is running out for Neil Hawgood.
