Hockey Champions Trophy - India vs South Korea

India beat South Korea 2-1 in their fourth match on Tuesday to jump to second in the standings, with seven points, behind leaders Australia - their next opposition. Skipper SV Sunil's 39th minute goal gave India lead, but they needed Nikkin Thimmaiah’s winner in the 57th minute, immediately after Juhun Kim scored the equaliser for Korea, to win the game.

Half-time - India 0, South Korea 0

Surprisingly, both the teams have failed to change circle penetrations to penalty corners. Result - no PCs in the first half. India, in spite of leading the proceedings, are yet to get a clear shot at the goal. It's stalemate in the first 30 minutes of play in London.

25' - Five minutes to half-time, it's still 0-0

Time for goals..

India looked composed in Q1. Created more chances than Korea but couldn't convert them! Time we go for the kill. #HCT2016 @TheHockeyIndia
