Mandeep Singh: India forward Mandeep Singh said the team’s belief in its structure helped it overcome Pakistan’s fightback and clinch a dramatic 4-3 win in the men’s hockey semifinal at the Asian Games in Kakamigahara on Thursday.

India appeared to be in complete control after taking a 3-0 lead, but Pakistan fought back to level the score at 3-3 in the final quarter. Abhishek then scored the decisive goal with around 40 seconds remaining to send India into the final.
