India hold nerves to register maiden Champions Trophy win over Korea

Excellent 2-1 win for India over the Koreans. Frustrating to again concede a late goal. Not for the faint hearted this #HCT2016

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

South Korea stunned Belgium in their opening match, but lost their next two games against Australia and Great Britain.
