Women’s Asian Champions Trophy: The Indian women’s hockey team performed brilliantly and won the Asian Champions Trophy title by defeating China 1-0 in the final. The Indian women’s team thus won the title for the third time. Deepika scored a goal for India in the third quarter which proved to be decisive in the end. Deepika gave the team the lead by scoring a penalty corner goal in the 31st minute. The Chinese team could not score a goal in the stipulated time and had to face defeat.
Deepika did a great performance
As the current champion, the Indian team performed strongly throughout the tournament and managed to retain the title on the basis of its excellent performance. In the final, China gave a tough fight to India and both the teams could not score goals for the first two quarters. However, in the third quarter, Deepika was successful in hitting the goal post of Olympic silver medalist China. This was Deepika’s 11th goal in this tournament.
The Indian team, which won titles in Ranchi last year and Singapore in 2016, showed tremendous composure and composure and did not allow China to dominate. No goals were scored in the first half. Deepika enthralled the spectators at the packed Bihar Sports University Stadium by scoring a goal from the penalty corner awarded to India in the very first minute of the second half.
India had a golden opportunity to double the lead in the third quarter itself, but in the 42nd minute, Deepika’s shot on the penalty stroke was saved by the Chinese goalkeeper by diving to his right. India also got a penalty corner in the fourth quarter but the conversion yielded no results. Therefore, Indian players once again had to struggle for the finishing touch. The Indian team’s weakness, which failed to convert even a single penalty corner out of 16 in the semi-final against Japan, was again visible in the first 30 minutes of the final when four of the penalty corners they gave away went in vain.
