Ranchi, Oct 31: An in-form India eked out a narrow 2-1 win over Japan to register their fourth straight win and storm into the semifinals of the women’s Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament here on Tuesday.
After two goalless quarters, Navneet Kaur (31st minute) and Sangita Kumari (47th) scored for India, while Japan’s lone goal came from the stick of Kana Urata (37th).
It was a match between two undefeated sides in the tournament and it lived up to the billing.
India had earlier defeated Thailand 7-1 in their opener before getting the better of Malaysia and China 5-0 and 2-1 respectively. The Japanese too were undefeated coming into the match, having registered wins over Malaysia 3-0, South Korea 4-0 and Thailand 4-0 respectively.
India will take on South Korea on Thursday. (PTI)
