Kakamigahara,
Japan, Oct 30: The Indian Women’s Hockey Team came up with an all-round
performance to beat dangerous China 4-1 in their second Pool A match at the
Women’s Asia Cup 2017 here at Kakamigahara Kawasaki Stadium on Monday.
It was goals by Gurjit Kaur (19’), Navjot Kaur (32’), Neha Goyal (49’) and Rani (58’) that ensured India kept up their winning momentum in the tournament.
The team had previously beaten Singapore 10-0 in their opening match.
India were quick to get off the blocks as they won a penalty corner in the first 15 minutes of the match to put China on the back foot.
Though the PC attempt was well defended by China and ended the first quarter in a stalemate, the second quarter saw India’s dragflick specialist Gurjit Kaur convert a splendid goal to give India a 1-0 lead in the 19th minute.
The following minutes saw both teams play cautiously.
While India rotated the ball with calm heads and made their way into the striking circle, China were strong on defence to deny India any success. UNI
