9' - India getting into rhythm
India is slowly getting into the groove, they have been quick with the attacks whenever they have the ball in control. A wonderful long pass from Priyanka now, but the striker fails to trap the ball cleanly inside the circle as she is surrounded.

Multiple run-ins from both sides, but both the defending units have been top-notch so far.

Time for National Anthems
India's Jana Gana Mana followed by South Korea's Aegukga.
