Singapore: An inspired second half performance saw Indian eves outgun Korea 2-1 in an exciting encounter at the 4th Women Asian Champions Trophy hockey here yesterday.


The win puts India on top of the pool standings. A composed first quarter saw both sides challenge each other in a midfield battle. India were the ones who were pushed to the back foot early on, conceding a penalty corner, but Rajani's smart save ensured both teams went into the first break locked in a stalemate.


Early in the second quarter, Korea's Eeseul Baek scored in the 28th minute to give her team a 1-0 lead. Though Korea kept up the pressure, Indian defence ensured they went into halftime down by a single goal.
