HALF TIME!
South Korea had a lot of chances with India generously gifting them PCs one after the other, but they failed to convert them all. But once India took the lead via a clean PS from Annu, the Koreans hit back to equalise.
We head into the half time with both teams level on terms. A lot to play for when the players step out on the other side of the break. Will India win their maiden Women's Junior Asia Cup title? Or will South Korea win a record extending fifth title?
IND 1-1 KOR

A PC for South Korea and they try a variation this time. The Indian defence is certainly taken aback by that move, but the final shot is way off target.

22' - ANNU SCORESSSS!
A stick challenge from South Korea in an India PC routine hands the latter a Penalty Stroke.
Annu steps up to take the shot from the spot and unlike the semifinal against Japan, she does not miss this time. She beats the goalkeeper to her low left and INDIA HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD!
No real celebrations from Annu, though her teammates are ecstatic.
IND 1-0 KOR
