After three goals in the third quarter, both sides increased the tempo at Malaysia National Hockey Stadium. India, on the counter, found the equaliser in the 52nd minute through a cool finish from Sourabh Kushwaha, who only needed to slot home after a rebound. And within minutes, India took the lead for the first time in the match. With three minutes remaining to the final hooter, India won back-to-back PCs and one Vishnukanth injection saw Boby Singh Dhami relaying to an opportunistic India captain Uttam Singh, who got a big enough deflection. 4-3, and the countdown began which ultimately ended with India winning the seven-goal thriller.
