Women's Asian Champions Trophy: Defending Champs India Defeat Japan 2-0 To Set Up Final Against China
India started the game with a high press, creating early circle entries, but Navneet and Sangita’s shots were saved by the goalkeeper. They maintained control, constantly winning the ball high up the pitch and gunning for a goal, but were unable to find the back of the net.
With four minutes left in the quarter, India earned a penalty corner, but Navneet’s shot was deflected over the bar. Their fluid build-up play led to another penalty corner a minute later, but Deepika’s flick was easily swatted away by Japan’s goalkeeper Yu Kudo, keeping the score at 0-0. The onslaught continued in the second quarter -- Lalremsiami embarked on a dangerous run down the left baseline as the quarter began, leaving the Japanese defense scrambling, but there was no one in blue to finish the move.
