Men's Junior Asia Cup: India Book Ticket To Final With 3-1 Victory Against Malaysia
The Indian Junior Men: The Indian Junior Men's Hockey Team took on Malaysia in the semifinal of the Men's Junior Asia Cup against Korea here on Tuesday and defeated them 3-1 to advance to the final. Dilraj Singh (10’), Rohit (45’) and Sharda Nand Tiwari (52’) found the back of the net for India in the tie while Kamaruddin Azimuddin (57’) scored a consolation goal for Malaysia towards the end of the game.
Malaysia started the game on the front foot, quickly earning a penalty corner. However, the Indian defence stood firm. Moments later, Captain Che Nur Aqilrullah forced India’s goalkeeper Bikramjeet into action with a powerful shot.
The growing pressure resulted in another penalty corner for Malaysia, but once again, Kamaruddin Azimuddin’s flick was saved. India looked to transition quickly from defence, and in the 10th minute, Araijeet Singh Hundal found Dilraj Singh in the shooting circle. Dilraj turned around and, while off balance, bypassed the Malaysian goalkeeper Mohamad Rafaizul with a powerful shot to grant India the lead.
