~ The home team overcame an early set back with Armaan Qureshi's goal ~
The South Korean Team, who are here to gain practice ahead of the Asian Games in Jakarta next month, began the match with a good defensive structure. Playing full press, Korea ensured they kept India from making potential forays into the striking circle. Though India won a PC in the first quarter, Rupinder Pal Singh's flick rebounded off the post.
After a goalless first two quarters, South Korea made the first breakthrough with a field goal by Seo Inwoo in the 31st minute. India made some good attempts for a field goal in the following minutes however, could not convert. In the 48th minute, India scored a field goal through Armaan Qureshi.
Though South Korea created a PC too in the second quarter, good defending kept them from scoring and taking a lead.
