Q1: India 2-0 Japan

India has made a strong start to the match, scoring two early goals to take control. Mandeep Singh (3 minute) opened the scoring, followed by a well-taken penalty corner from skipper Harmanpreet Singh (4 minute).

Japan had its chance to reduce the margin but couldn't capitalise the two back-to-back penalty corners. A solid first quarter for the Men in Blue!
