The players from both teams have now taken the field, adorned in their white and red jerseys. It’s time for the national anthems!

"That's always the key message (to not get complacent). It's a new day, it's a new game. Yesterday's gone. We have to do it again. I know Korea is nicely organised, so we'll have to be sharp on the ball," says India's coach Craig Fulton before the match.

And the match began with Korea winning the toss and starting strong. Both teams have kept things tight in the early moments, with no goals scored in the first 3 minutes. Just one thing is clear at the moment, it's going to be a thrilling hour!

9' IND 1-0 KOR

Araijeet Hundal opens India's goal tally in the ninth minute, driving into the circle and sending the ball into the net.

What a drag flick! Harmanpreet Singh extends India’s lead to 2-0 in the first quarter. Just seconds after the first goal of the game, he scores from a penalty corner. India are continuing their dominant form, looking once again irresistible. Also, it’s worth noting that this goal marks the captain's 200th goal for India

The first quarter concludes with India leading 2-0, the only goals scored so far. As we head into the second quarter, India remain in control, maintaining their domination. However, Korea has made a strong push, with an early entry into the circle and Gwang taking a shot from the right. Though it didn't trouble Karkera, it was indeed a wakeup call for Harmanpreet's side. Will the Koreans manage to break through or will they follow a pattern similar to Malaysia's defeat? Let's see

The Koreans won their first penalty corner after a scramble in front of the goal, with Karkera heavily involved. However, it was said that the ball struck the foot of a Korean player, leading India to request a review.

After the review, India’s referral proves successful. The video evidence confirms that the ball did indeed hit the foot of a Korean attacker in the circle. As a result, India is awarded a clearing-free hit.

24' IND 2-0 KOR

And that drag-flick from Ji-Hyun Yang's that deflected off Manpreet’s stick, and left Karkera with no chance, scores the first goal of the second quarter. The Koreans appear to have adjusted their strategy to handle India’s attacking prowess. As we head into halftime, India still hold a 2-1 lead.

Despite struggling in the first half, the Jang Jong-hyun-led Korean side has shown resilience, managing to score a penalty corner goal. With India still in the lead, the Koreans have put up a commendable fight.

As we enter the third quarter, the score remains India 2-1 South Korea. Ji-Hyun Yang makes a shot on target, but India’s Pathak makes a crucial save. Later on, Raheel wins the ball high up the field and takes a shot himself, which too gets well saved by the Korean goalkeeper.

At the 43-minute mark, a penalty corner is awarded to India. The Koreans have requested for a review, but the situation seems to favour the Indians. Now, India will have another chance to score, with Harmanpreet or Jugraj likely to take the shot.

IND 2-1 KOR

Just as expected, there is a goal! Harmanpreet Singh delivers a stunning flick into the right corner, scoring his second goal of the game in 43' and marking his 201st goal for the country. The Indian captain continues to shine.

IND 3-1 KOR

Harmanpreet’s goal wraps up the third quarter with the score at India 3-1 Korea, showcasing India's continued dominance this entire season.

As the fourth quarter begins, Karkera makes a crucial string of saves. Korea earn an early penalty corner but yet again end up with no goal.

IND 3-1 KOR

No goals have been scored in the final quarter so far, but Suraj Karkera has delivered two spectacular saves. In the 56th minute, Korea managed to breach the circle with a pass from the right side. However, Karkera was well aware and made a world-class save, maintaining India's lead.

And that’s full time! India secures their fourth win of the Asian Champions Trophy, defeating South Korea 3-1. Let’s say it loud and clear—India storm into the semi-finals! Today’s standout moment included Captain Harmanpreet Singh surpassing the 200-goal mark. It was an impressive display all around, something that the Indians have been following from the past three matches.

The goal for India came from Araijeet Singh (8′), and Harmanpreet Singh (9′, 43′). And for Korea only yJi-Hyun Yan managed to goal in the 30th minute.

Suraj Karkera, India’s goalkeeper, has been named the hero of the match for his series of world-class saves. His crucial stops prevented the Koreans from scoring and helped maintain India’s lead.
