IND vs UZB Highlights Women's Hockey: Deepika's record eight goals power India to dominant 19-0 win over Uzbekistan

What a performance from India! Deepika’s record-breaking eight-goal haul powered India to a stunning 19-0 victory over Uzbekistan in their opening Asian Games match. India were relentless from the start, racing to an 8-0 lead by half-time before continuing the onslaught after the break.

Deepika was at the heart of it all, scoring eight goals, including several superb penalty-corner conversions. Ishika also completed a hat-trick, while Lalthantluangi scored twice. India had eight different goalscorers in total as Uzbekistan struggled to cope with the relentless pressure.

The 19-0 victory is India’s third-biggest win in Asian Games history, setting the tone for what could be a strong campaign in Nagoya. A statement opening from the Indian women, who now have plenty of momentum heading into their next match.

Deepika returns to the middle and scores her eighth goal of the game! There is simply no stopping her. It is now the most goals scored by an individual in an Asian Games match, while India move 19-0 ahead. The goals are coming at regular intervals again as India show no signs of slowing down. IND 19-0 UZB Q4

Ishika completes her hat-trick! Rutuja plays a fine pass into her path and Ishika makes no mistake, slotting the ball into the net. India have now scored 18 goals, although interestingly, this has been their quietest quarter of the match so far.

Lalthantluangi scores from the penalty stroke to complete her brace! She finds the top-right corner to beat the goalkeeper as India extend their lead to 17-0. She is now one goal away from a hat-trick as India continue to run riot. IND 17-0 UZB Q4

No goals for India in Q4 so far, which almost feels strange after the onslaught we've seen. India are 16-0 up and could now have the record 22-goal mark in their sights. Their biggest win in women’s hockey at the Asian Games came in 1982, when they beat Hong Kong 22-0 in New Delhi. India went on to finish with silver at those Games.

Navneet adds another one! India are now 16-0 up and there is still one quarter left to play. There is simply no stopping this Indian attack, with Uzbekistan struggling to find any answer to India’s relentless goalscoring spree. IND 16-0 UZB Q3

Lalthantluangi and Sakshi add to India’s goal tally as the score moves to 15-0. India now have eight different goalscorers, and the team are enjoying themselves out there as Uzbekistan struggle to match their intensity. IND 15-0 UZB Q3

Ishika scores her second! An excellent goal as she beats a couple of defenders, drives in from the baseline and fires it into the back of the net. India make it 13-0, with more than 17 minutes still left to play. IND 13-0 UZB Q3

Goal number seven for Deepika! She is having some fun now, with penalty-corner goals looking almost routine for her. Deepika is tearing through the Uzbekistan defence as India reach a dozen goals. IND 12-0 UZB Q3

The Indian women’s hockey team are now treating this like a practice game with Deepika Sehrawat trying her drag-flicks from both the penalty corner batteries and succeeding! She has scored six goals now while India are 11-0 up! IND 11-0 UZB Q3

Another penalty corner, another drag-flick and another goal for Deepika! That’s her fifth of the game as India make it 10-0. A huge confidence boost for Deepika after an underwhelming World Cup, and a sensational start to the tournament for both her and the Indian team. IND 10-0 UZB Q3

Deepika scores her fourth! Another penalty-corner conversion as India go 9-0 up. A superb strike from Deepika sails over the goalkeeper’s head, completing her hat-trick of goals from penalty corners. IND 9-0 UZB Q3

Is it goal number nine for India? No, it isn’t! Uzbekistan took the referral and it has worked in their favour. The back-stick rule comes into play, with the goal overturned and India denied a ninth. IND 8-0 UZB Q3

Quarter 3 begins! India completely dominated the first half and will look to carry the same intensity into the third quarter as they aim to extend their 8-0 lead.

India get a green card and it is experienced campaigner Neha Goyal just a minute before half-time. This is exactly what chief coach Sjoerd Marijne had warned against. India cannot afford on-field indiscipline, especially against Uzbekistan, who are ranked 65th in the world. Stronger teams will punish the Salima Tete-led outfit if they are down to 10 women

Goal number eight for India! Deepika strikes again from a penalty corner to complete her hat-trick. Uzbekistan look completely overwhelmed now, with no answers to India’s relentless attack. India are flying here. IND 8-0 UZB Q2

Rutuja scores from the rebound to make it 7-0! India now have six different goalscorers, with Uzbekistan simply unable to cope with the relentless pressure. Sensational stuff from India, and there are still around seven minutes left in Q2. IND 7-0 UZB Q2

Finally, India convert a penalty corner, with Deepika unleashing a powerful drag-flick that tears through the Uzbekistan defence. A sensational strike as India continue to dominate the proceedings and extend their lead to 6-0. IND 6-0 UZB Q2

The only area where India have not quite found their rhythm is penalty corners. Uzbekistan goalkeeper Rukhshona Mansurova has been alert every time, while their defence has done a solid job of neutralising India’s threat from set pieces. IND 5-0 UZB Q2

Q2 starts in similar fashion, with Neha adding India’s fifth goal with a fine backhand strike. The goals keep coming and so do the different goalscorers, underlining India’s quality and depth. Uzbekistan simply cannot find a way into the game at the moment, with everything going India’s way. IND 5-0 UZB Q2
