Australia asked questions of India\u2019s defence, winning an early penalty corner, but the scoreline remained unchanged. Australia eventually broke the deadlock in the ninth minute when Courtney Schonell found the back of the net, to give her team the lead. The hosts threatened to double their lead with another penalty corner but could not secure their second goal of the quarter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The second quarter saw India come out eager to show their intent. Two penalty corners came India\u2019s way in quick succession, but the equaliser eluded them. However, despite their growing impact on the game, India went into a half-time break trailing by a goal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The third quarter was another goalless affair. Both teams were unable to convert their chances, including a penalty corner apiece, setting up a crucial fourth quarter for the Indian women\u2019s hockey team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In pursuit of a goal in the fourth quarter, India conceded for the second time in the night when Grace Steward slotted it into the net from open play at the 52nd-minute mark, to make it 2-0 and seal their victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
