On Monday, the Indian men’s hockey team defeated South Korea 3-2 in a hard-fought battle at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium in the Asian Champions Trophy.
Therefore, given how the first 45 minutes of the game had gone, India’s fourth-quarter performance was unexpected and out of character. They were quick to win balls back, inventive in attack, and patient against a Korean team that defended deep in their half.
Mandeep Singh, who scored a goal in the game, remarked afterward that the boys defended well and that the squad needed to win this match.
Meanwhile, Mandeep Singh was heard saying ”I would say that it turned out to be a good match. It was a tough one. The score was 3-2. The boys defended well from behind. We wanted to win this game, so we’re happy.”
Following Korea’s many circle penetrations, the Indian hockey team launched numerous attacks. In the 22nd minute, India was granted their first golden corner when Mandeep Singh clashed with a Korean defender’s foot.
