India defender Jarmanpreet Singh is awarded the 'Hero of the Match' award. A brilliant performance by the reliable defender, who also scored India's third goal.
China will playing the final on home soil, and they would love to beat record champions India to clinch a first ACT crown. But actually beating India, in this form, would be an enormous challenge.
Six games, six wins. 4-time ACT champions India will eye a record-extending fifth title now. They've been the class of the field, and are massive favourites heading into the final against China.
Captain Fantastic Harmanpreet Singh scored twice, helped by goals by Uttam Singh and Jarmanpreet Singh to make it a 4-1 thrashing. Korea's Yang Ji-hun scored a consolation in the third quarter, which helps him stay one goal ahead of Harmanpreet in the top scorers list.
India beat Korea 4-1 in the Asian Champions Trophy final! They enter their second succcessive final, and will want to defend their crown against China on Tuesday.
Less than 4 minutes left in the fourth and final quarter. India cruising with a 4-1 lead, and surely now, have booked their spot in the ACT 2024 final.
India concede the penalty corner, but the goalkeeper makes two great saves. Korea have a chance to cause some nervous moments if they can score this PC... but they can't.
Korea's goalkeeper is back again, after his yellow card. His error allowed Harmanpreet to score an easy goal at the end of the third quarter, and almost certainly end Korean hopes.
From defence to offence in a flash for India. Harmanpreet Singh wins the ball back in his own area, and seconds later, India are attempting a shot at the other end via Abhishek. Good save by Korea.
Harmanpreet Singh is now on 7 goals, while Korea's Yang Ji-hun is on 8, after the latter scored Korea's only goal in the semi. This battle for the lead will be spicy!
Harmanpreet Singh makes no mistake. India take full advantage of the penalty corner, and leave it to the PC dragflicker extraordinaire to do what he does best. It's a huge lead for India now, it's goal no. 7 for Harmanpreet.
Korea are desperately searching for the late goal, but a good save by Krishnan Pathak before the whistle is blown. Moments later, a penalty corner for India! Late, late chance for India to add a fourth. The referee shows a yellow to the South Korean goalkeeper.
Massive chance for Korea, built out of nothing! A superb diagonal long pass finds a Korean man free in the D, but the final connection doesn't go on target.
India have not allowed Korea back into the game after the Korean goal. India continuing to attack, be it Sukhjeet or Araijeet or Rajkumar Pal. A flurry of attacks from the men in blue.
Massive miss by Sukhjeet! Or was it a block? A fabulous dribbling run by Sukhjeet, exchanges passes and then gets an easy shot that is blocked. Golden chance to make it 4-1.
GOAL Jarmanpreet Singh. A superb long switch from the left to the right, and Jarmanpreet slams it home to make it 3-0. India are cruising to the final now.
Just a reminder again of what is at stake: a spot in the Asian Champions Trophy 2024 final. This is a competition that India thrive in and dominate in. They're the record champions, and they're well on their way to another final.
That is the end of the second quarter, and that's HALF-TIME. India lead Korea 2-0, thanks to goals from Uttam Singh and captain Harmanpreet Singh. A very convincing performance so far.
Wonderful play on the edge of the D, as Korea launch a shot, but cannot score. Good play by Korea, but India will just have to watch out in the final moments of the second quarter.
Not much difficulty for India in regaining possession whenever they lose it. Fewer attacks down the right in the second quarter, with Sukhjeet and Uttam attacking from the left.
Korea are attacking more now, but India look very comfortable so far. The battle between the spear and the shield, as the Korean manager would put it, is being comfortably won by the spear so far.
India captain Harmanpreet Singh scores from the penalty corner! The first one didn't work, but the captain scores his sixth goal of ACT 2024 with his second shot. India are sailing into the final at this rate.
There's the hooter! That marks the end of the first quarter. This has been a good start for India, as they eye yet another ACT Final. Uttam Singh with the opening goal for India.
And there it is! Right on the stroke of the end of the first quarter, India go ahead with a goal by Uttam Singh. Brilliant play once again down the right wing, where India has been so strong. It is cut back for an easy finish.
India are firmly on the attack, enjoying control of the ball. The first goal hasnt come yet, but the men in blue are spending a lot of time in the Korean third.
Superb dribbling on the right wing by Uttam, attacking the baseline, squares it back, but India are unable to convert! A great start, and India are growing into the game.
A reminder that it is China who are waiting for India in the final of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024. They defeated Pakistan a while ago in a dramatic penalty shootout win.
