Indumathi misses a golden chance
Captain Indumathi Kathiresan goes through on goal, carries the ball brilliantly for more than 40 yards but her shot is weak and is dealt with easily by the Uzbek goalie.
Best chance of the match yet.

Uzbek long-ranger goes wide
Shot from a loose ball in the edge of the area for Uzbekistan but it doesn't trouble Aditi in goal.

Good defending from Linthoingambi Devi
Linthoingambi Devi again gets her positioning correct as she prevents the Uzbek centre-forward to spin behind her.
20 minutes left. Still 0-0.

Both teams looking to create chances
The two teams have both been more attack-minded in the second half. Just that they haven't been able to create any clear-cut chances.

BIG chance for India..
India finally manage to curate a beautiful move down the middle but the final shot is a comfortable save for the goalkeeper. Could prove to be costly.

Aditi tips it to the side
A cross whipped in from the right wing is just about tipped wide by Aditi Chauhan as Uzbekistan mount their first real spell of possession in the second half.

India growing in confidence
Brilliant cross from the left wing which tests the Uzbek defence but doesn't amount to anything substantial in the end

More precision needed in attack
To be honest the Indian attackers haven't showed up yet. They have to do more in the second period if India have to win this one.
