Asian Champions Trophy 2023 Semi-final, India Vs Japan: India Thrash Japan 5-0, Set Up Final With Malaysia - In Pics

A dominant India mauled reigning Asian champions Japan 5-0 to enter their fourth final of the Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium on Friday. While three-time champions India adopted a high-press hockey from the onset, Japan played deep into their defence to thwart the home team's attacks. Goals from Akashdeep Singh (19th minute), skipper Harmanpreet Singh (23rd), Mandeep Singh (30th), Sumit (39th) and Karthi Selvam (51st) were enough to give India a smooth sailing into the final. India will take on Malaysia in the final on Saturday, whom the hosts had blanked 5-0 in the round-robin stage while Japan will lock horns against title holders South Korea in the third-fourth place play-off match.
