HALF TIME!
That's the end of the first half and India have a comfortable 2-0 lead. They did have opportunities to extend their score, but the Korean defense has been rock solid.
The South Koreans did come close to scoring themselves but failed to convert, thanks to Bichu Devi's heroics on the goal once again. Though it looks like one-way traffic at the moment, India cannot afford to rest easy.

LALRINDIKI SCORESSSS!
The first quarter keeps getting better for India. A beautiful penetration and shot from the center right from Deepika, but the South Korean goalkeeper blocks it well. The ball seemed to have rolled away, but Indian intercepts and takes yet another shot of the rebound which is guided inside the net by Lalrindiki.
EASY PEASY for the striker.
That's also the end of the first quarter.
IND 2-0 KOR

A PC for India and they convert it rightaway. Wonderful injection from Sharmila Devi before India tries a variation and Mumtaz Khan slots it in with a wonderful deflection.
Wonderful start for India to break that rock-solid Korean defence early on in this contest.
