Asian Games 2014: It's India vs Pakistan in Hockey Final

India, seeking their first Asian Games title since 1998, played a spirited game to outlast hosts South Korea 1-0.

India's Akashdeep Singh scoring the winner in the 44th minute from a narrow angle.

India's Australian coach Terry Walsh said he was delighted to see his team emerge from a high-pressure match unscathed.

The Indians were by far the dominant side in the entire 60 minutes and controlled the proceedings from the word go. The Koreans played catch-up hockey throughout the match but failed to break the resolute Indian defence.

Defending champions Pakistan were held to a 0-0 draw by 2010 finalists Malaysia before winning a thrilling penalty shoot-out 6-5.

Malaysian coach Arul Selvaraj, who was appointed a few months before the Games, praised his team for giving Pakistan a tough fight.

It needed eight attempts from each side to break the deadlock, with Rashid Mehmood beating Malaysian goalkeeper Kumar Subramaniam for the winner after Tengku Abdul Jalil's shot had been saved by Pakistan's Imran Butt.
