India move into the quarterfinals
With this win, India have ensured a quarterfinal spot for themselves. They were not very clinical today, but Erik Wonnick will not complain. Bichu Devi was hands down the star for India and they would hope she carries this form into the knockout matches.
As for Germany they now have a must-win clash against Wales to make it through to final eight.

INDIA WINSSSS!
India have managed to hold on. The Germans were relentless with their attacks until the final second, but the Indian defence prevailed. More importantly, their goalkeeper Bichu Devi Kharibam prevailed.
A hard-fought win for Salima Tete and co, and they have to thank Bichu Devi for it. If not for the goalkeeper, India would have lost this ages ago.

GERMANY SCORESSSS!
A moment of individual brilliance from Juel Bleuel and the Indians are taken by surprise. Bichu Devi had no chance as the German striker penetrated from the right flank, and fired in a wonderful back flick.

54' - CHANCE MISSED!
A beautiful counter opportunity for India, they penetrate with a 3v1 advantage but have managed to bottle it. India are certainly not at their best, but the Germans have not been able to exploit it.

No harm done!
No harm done in that corner as Bichu Devi once again comes up with a good save. Baljeet Kaur clears a high ball dangerously, the Germans appeal for yet another PC but they are turned down.

49' - PC, GERMANY!
Germany continues to attack and have now earned yet another PC. Can Bichu Devi save India once again?

Much better from India
A much better show from India in the third quarter. They might not have scored in these 15 minutes, but they have managed to hold on to the ball for longer. There were a couple of beautiful runs too and they did certainly look much more composed.
Germany, on the other hand, are now feeling the heat. They have messed up numerous chances and now have to score at least twice in the final 15 minutes to salvage even a point from this match.
IND 2-0 GER
