Full Time India started the game on a strong note finding an early break in Q1. But it was Ireland who came back strong after going down twice to eventually emerge as winners. With the loss, India loses all their hopes of qualification as they could garner only one win in their campaign.
60' Ramandeep gets a shot in as he tries his best to pull one back for India in the dying minutes but the shot is unsuccessful as the referee blows the whistle. It's all over for the Men in Blue as they crash out of the tournament with the loss.
56' Impeccable ball control from Simranjeet as he wins a penalty corner for India. Varun Kumar with a strong flick but the shot is just shy of the goal. India still trail by a single goal
53' A surging run from Sumit Kumar through the middle but the counter is negated by a strong Irish defense. Important tackle by Lee Cole as India break at pace.
38' Chancee!!! Talwinder with a commendable effort. Does well under pressure to create space and squeeze in a shot but it sails just inches wide of the post.
India gives away an easy goal as Ireland are back on level terms. Shimmins pass into the circle and Murray gets in front of his marker for the deflection.
Half Time Aggressive play from both the teams but it was India who found the early break courtesy Ramandeep's goal. Though Ireland found the equalizer in the Q2, Amit Rohidas stepped up for India to put them back in the lead from a penalty corner.
India will be keen to maintain their lead when they come back from the break, while Ireland looks to be creative in the midfield to penetrate the Indian defense.
Donoghue hits a strong drag flick aiming the top corner but Karkera shows good reflexes to keep the ball out as the referee blows the whistle for halftime
