Man of the match Kang strikes late to give Korea 4-3 triumph over India
by
PRESIDENT
on September 1st, 2013
It was a close call but South Korea reaffirmed their status as Asia’s best when they defeated India 4-3 in a hugely entertaining final in the 9th Asia Cup at the Azlan Shah Stadium.
The Koreans played one of their best games here in Ipoh and managed to subdue a determined Indian side hoping to seal their World Cup berth by winning the title.
There is no shame in the defeat for the Indians as they display a very high quality in terms of performance and were only beaten by a team that had players with skills to match them.
The Koreans had already booked their World Cup berth going into match and it was in India’s interest to go for a win and confirmed their berth as well.
Korea’s win has now confirmed Malaysia’s world Cup berth instead. The Indians have also made it but need for the Oceania championships to be over in November before their place is confirmed.
Both teams also met in the group stage and the Indians won 2-0.
But this time in the final it was the Koreans who started off aggressively and were two goals up by half time.
This meeting the two Asian giants is also their 70th. The Koreans lead with 31 wins as opposed to 27 losses and 12 draws.
Korean penalty corner specialists Jang Jong-hyun was on target in the 28th minute. The goal took his tally to eight in the top scorers list.
One minute after that goal You Hyo-sik added that second with a twp in from close range after three Indian defenders were beaten by a square pass into the D.
The Indians fought back in the second half and in the 48th minute they had as lifeline when Rupinderpal Singh scored from the penalty corner.
And in the 55th minute Nithin Thimmaiah added a field goal to put the game firmly on their sights again.
Nam Hyun-woo regained the lead for the Koreans in the 57th minute but only to see mandeep Singh score from close range in the 66th minute.
As a penalty shootout loomed the Koreans earned a penalty corner in the 68th minute. Instead of taking a direct hit the Koreans played a variation and Kang Moon-kweon scored from the left side.
Moon-kweon was named man-of-the-match for his winning goal.
