Indian women started positively and were attacking ... They converted penalty corner for leading 1-0 after first quarter and kept that lead till half-time ... We conceded in last minute of third quarter due to defensive lapse by defender and goalie ... Deepika scored on penalty corner with 17 secs to go, China protested but referee stood up to their decision ... Indians were matching young Chinese team on the turf and created ore chances for them ... So deserving winner as per performance on the turf.
