Asian Champions Trophy: South Korea Keep Semi-Final Hopes Alive With 3-2 China Win

Korea's Hyeonhong Kim, JungHoo Kim, and Jihun Yang all put their name on the score sheet to help their side register a good win.

China got off to a positive start as they kept the ball under control, and made it difficult for the Koreans to break through.

However, they gave away quite a few penalty corners as Korea quickey capitalised. 

The third quarter ended in a stalemate as both the teams kept penetrating each others’ circle.

The penalty corner conversion saw a sad reading as this time around, China failed to convert.

The final quarter saw Korea score two goals as China made a few errors under pressure eventually costing them the game.

China, thanks to Ziyang Huang, pulled one back in the 60th minute to narrow the lead down to 2-3, but fell short in the end.

Korea are now placed second ahead of Pakistan due to goal difference in the points table, while China are placed fourth.
