Women’s U-18 Asia Cup: Indian Hockey is into the improving zone and it is looking to regain its position in World Hockey that it used to owe in 80’s and 90’s. Days after Indian Men’s team wins its second Junior Hockey World cup after a wait of 15 years, Indian Women’s on Thursday defeated Korea by 3-0 at the 4th Women’s U-18 Asia Cup 2016 to take the Bronze medal in the tournament.

The key players like Ritu and Sangita Kumari scored the goals to claim a crushing victory over Koreans. Ritu put India in the lead by converting a penalty corner early in the second half while Sangita Kumari scored a couple of field goals later on.

For their notable performance, Hockey India announced cash rewards of Rs.1 lakh for each player and Rs.50,000 for each member of the support staff.

Summary of the Bronze Medal Clash between India and Korea in Women’s U-18 Asia Cup:

The two teams played out a goalless first half, with India content with dropping deep and relying on the counter to create opportunities. The Koreans earned several penalty corners but failed to convert from any as the Indian defence closed them down perfectly.

The best chance of the half fell to Mahima Choudhary. A defensive mistake in the Korean penalty circle saw the ball fall to Sangita who flashed a shot across the goal with Mahima waiting for the opportunity at the far post. But the weight on the pass was too much for Mahima as the chance went wide.

India took the lead minutes after the break as Ritu scored the opener off a penalty corner. A few minutes later, some brilliant interplay between Lalremsiami and Sangita saw the latter’s shot stopped on the line illegally as India were awarded a penalty stroke. But Manpreet Kaur’s attempt to convert the stroke was denied by South Korean goalkeeper Lee Da Bom.

In the 55th minute, the duo combined again, Lalremsiami intercepting a Korean pass and showing great vision to pick out an inch perfect through to Sangita, who cut past two defenders to slot the ball into the goal and extend India’s lead.

The third goal came off a similar route, Sangita scoring her second of the game in the 58th minute. From there on, India held firm control over the game and held off a late Korean penalty corner to complete a deserved victory in Women’s U-18 Asia Cup 2016.
