Q2, India 0-2 Belgium: India denied a goal by Picard! Salima Tete slalomed down the right channel and found herself with clear sight of goal inside the circle. She goes for the top corner but Picard is quick to react and saves it with her stick. A very good save that.
Q2, India 0-2 Belgium: Belgium double their advantage! A contentious goal that from a penalty corner. Louise Versavel’s drag flick was blocked by India’s first rusher. The ball came to Vanessa Blockmans who took a touch before firing the ball through Bichu’s legs into goal.
Ishika Chaudhary reviewed immediately. It looked like Versavel’s initial attempt was blocked at knee height, which meant that the goal would have been chalked off for dangerous play. However, the TV umpire didn’t think so and stays with the on-field call.
India lose their review. Q2, India 0-1 Belgium: A change in the Indian goal as Bichu Devi Kharibam comes in place of Savita Punia. End of Q1, India 0-1 Belgium: The hosts take the lead right at the end of the quarter! Ambre Ballenghien wins the first penalty corner of the match.
The injection goes to her in the second batter and Ballenghien fires the ball into the bottom corner past Navneet Kaur at the post. It was a well-taken drag flick from Ballenghien with Navneet Kaur not even able to see the ball. Q1, India 0-0 Belgium: Lovely interplay between Lalremsiami, Jyoti Chhatri and Sharmila Devi to get past the high Belgian press.
India attack and Sharmila gets the ball back in the .
