India 1-0 Korea Live Hockey Score, Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2025: Raheel Breaks Deadlock As IND Apply Pressure

Korea will have to find a way to stop the swamp of India's attacking threat, which proved to be too hot to handle in the first 15 minutes. KOR must stop India's line breaking passes and continue to defend hard, just like they did before conceding the opening goal in the 1st quarter.

Dilpreet Singh lays it on for Raheel to open the scoring for India in this match against Korea. It was a great build-up by the Men in Blue, who have retained most of the ball in this 1st quarter, which ends in favour of India.

Brilliant support from Abhishek and Sanjay as well.

The first penalty corner has been awarded to India and it's the captain, who took it. However, the ball was saved by the Korean keeper, and the Umpire awarded another PC to the Men in Blue, but it has been saved as well.

4 minutes left on the clock for the first quarter and the deadlock has not been broken yet. Korea have had to do much of labour work, defending all the Indian attacks from the flanks.

India's appeal for a penalty corner has been denied by the umpire. The Men in Blue felt that the ball made contact with a Korean leg during an early attacking build-up, however, the video umpire feels other wise.

The game has floated well for India in the opening 5 minutes of this quarter and they are dominating possession with Korea constantly shifting positions to defend the attacking threats.

We are underway for the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2025 opener between India and Korea. The Men in Blue will start from right to left and KOR (in red) will start from left to right in the first quarter.

Starting XI: Kim J. (GK), Lee S.M, Yang, Bae S.M., Kim H.H, Bae J., Kim H, Lee S.W, Kim J.H, Jin and Oh
