Half Time: India 0-2 China
The Indian team had a decent start to the match, showed some good game awareness in defence, and tried to go for a quick switch using long balls.
This also resulted in a couple of one-on-one chances for the wards, but they couldn't find the target, and China eventually opened the scoring with India's first major defensive lapse.
And after that, the team just lost its composure and conceded another goal on penalty after Ritu's poorly timed tackle in the box.
