29' - GOAL DISALLOWED FOR IRELAND!
It is India who had the Penalty Corner but it's Ireland, who score. India miss the PC after a long struggle in front of the goal and Ireland come on a counter. It is once again Carroll, who slots it in for Ireland. Savita had no chance there.
India review the decision, and the goal has been disallowed. IT WAS A BACKSTICK FROM CARROLL.
