Conceded needless cards today, says Manpreet

"We conceded too many unnecessary cards today, that is something we need to work on immediately," says India captain Manpreet Singh. India were a man down at the end of both halves. 

End of Match: India 2-2 Korea

Harmanpreet with the shot from the PC. Does not get a clean connection with his shot. The keeper rushes out to save. India crowd the box in the final minute, but the goal remains elusive.

Seconds left. Match over. The first match of the tournament ends in a 2-2 draw. India went 2-0 ahead in Q3 before Korea got back to equalize. India begin their ACT campaign with a draw.

India 2-2 Korea, 1 minute left

The Indian team stretched in the final minutes with a man down in the final minutes. It's still the Indian team who are going for the kill in the final minutes. A great chance for India with 3 minutes left, but another great save by the goalkeeper keeps them out.

Korea look to have fewer men on the attack as they mount an offence of their own. A shot wide off goal to end that.

A PC for India with 1 minute left in the match!

India 2-2 Korea, 5 minutes left

Vice-captain Harmanpreet Singh converts a PC as India keep earning them. Korea go for a video referral. And it's successful! The goal is ruled out because Harmanpreet's shot had been off target before it was deflected into goal by a Korean stick.

5 minutes left: Mandeep Mor given an yellow card. India will play with a man less in the time that remains. Korea capitalized on their man advantage last time. Can they do it again and get ahead?

India with a couple of great chances to regain the lead with 10 minutes left on the clock. Varun with a great chance, but the Korean goalie Kim makes another great save.

A very structured show of defence from the Koreans as the game has gone on.

Korea score! Scores level in the 1st minute of Q4

Goal! A tap-in goal as the final quarter gets underway with a Korean pushback. Kim Sung Hyun scores for Korea. Karkera, who just came on to play in goal, has conceded. And the scores are level at 2-2! 14 minutes remaining.

End of Q3: India 2-1 South Korea

Korea went into overdrive the moment they had a one-man advantage. And with one goal back, they are making India uncomfortable with Q3 coming to an end. 

India started this quarter with plenty of attacks but Korea have managed to wrest the initiative in the 3rd Quarter. Will they have enough in their tank to get one more back in the final 15 minutes?

Lalit Kumar Upadhyay is given an yellow card - he is astonished at the decision. Korea finally get what they were looking for - a PC. Their first PC of the match with 40 minutes gone. Gurinder Singh penalized for a body check in the Indian circle.

India defending with a player less! Harmanpreet penalized for stepping out of the goal-line before the injection. A golden opportunity for Korea! And they score! Jonghyung Jang the goalscorer for them.
