Indians started well and they were attacking ... Sandeep Singh converted both penalty corners to gave India 2-0 lead after 25th minutes but Malaysians kept trying ... Indian defense cracked under their pressure in 33rd minute ... At half-time we were leading 2-1 but in the second-half Malaysians showed more commitment and urgency on the field ... They scored another field goal in 42nd to make it 2-all ... Poor defending cost India 3rd goal from Tengku and gave lead to Malaysia which they increased after converting in-direct penalty corner in 52nd minute ... Malaysians were controlling the match and Sreejesh did some excellent goal-keeping in that period ... Indians kept cool and kept pushing forward .... Yuvraj scored excellent opportunist field goal and then immediately Sunil scored goal on rebound on Sandeep Singh's penalty corner ... Match ended on 4-all.
In extra-time Malaysian started positively ... Malaysia wasted 2 goal scoring opportunities when they were one-on-one position with goalkeeper PR Sreejesh but failed to utilize that in the first half ... Malaysia wasted another goal scoring opportunity with penalty corner in the second half ... India earned penalty corner when 20 seconds were remaining and Raghunath converted it to complete Indian victory in golden goal ... India r in the semis.
Tomorrow in the semis India will play against host South Africa, who they defeated 7-4 in entertaining group match ... In other semis Argentina will play Belgium for place in the final.
