Jugraj Singh 54'

A comfortable win for the Indian team as they go top of the table!

With Jugraj scoring the fifth goal for India in this game, the side has nine different goalscorers in the tournament so far!

A goal riot this one. Jugraj this time, through a penalty corner! A comprehensive performance for the side.

IND 5-0 MAS

Goal no.4 for India! Hardik sets up a brilliant ball for Mandeep, who holds it brilliantly before slotting it for Gurjant to tap it into the goal. All too easy for the men in blue

IND 4 -0 MAS

Another foul tackle from Malaysia. Their players look dispirited at the moment.

No goal, though, as the Malaysian defender blocks the shot from stick. Long corner for India instead 

No goal! Amit Rohidas flicks it wide. 

Harmanpreet returned to the field barely a minute before the PC but didn't take the drag-flick role here

IND 3-0 MAS 

A tackle from behind from the Malaysian defender on Shamsher earns the former a yellow card and five-minute suspension. More setback for the side, as they chase the game trailing 0-3

Some worrying signs for India as Harmanpreet Singh receives treatment on the bench

IND 3-0 MAS

India are comfortably placed in this match so far, leading 3-0. Two goals in the last quarter with Hardik and Harmanpreet finding much needed goals from PC

No goal from the first penalty as Harmanpreet's shot is blocked by the Malaysian defender

Hardik injects again for the second, but Malaysia blocks again. A third PC for India

GOAAAL! Third time's the charm for Harmanpreet!

Neelkantha Sharma finds Gurjant Singh inside the circle with only two Malaysian defenders inside, but Gurjant takes three touches, allowing other defenders to crowd the circle. The chance eventually goes to waste

IND 2-0 MAS

Gurjant attempts a brilliant back-handed aerial shot, but the Malaysian GK stretches his hand to complete a great save

IND 2-0 MAS

Vivek carded twice in the game, this time for shirt-pulling. India playing with 9 players with Neelkantha already on the bench

The shot from the Malaysian drag flicker hit Amit Rohidas above the knee, which is considered dangerous. The scoreline remains 2-0 in favour of India

Malaysia finally find their first penalty corner, unsurprisingly after a good few minutes of attack

GOAL! But it will be checked. GOAL DISALLOWED!

A brilliant injection and Harmanpreet finds the target, but Hardik Singh finds the rebound after the Malaysian GK saves and slots the ball left of the goal with a brilliant shot

IND 2-0 MAS in 3rd quarter

A third penalty corner for India. Harmanpreet forces an error from Malaysian defence with a brilliant aerial delivery

GOAAAAL! HARDIK SCORES!

India lead 1-0 and will aim at consolidating their position in the game. Craig Fulton says the side still needs to move the ball quicker

Karthi Selvam's goal remains the sole difference between the two sides as India lead 1-0 against table-toppers Malaysia

But the ball is just wide. Great switch of play from Varun as he slots a aerial pass to Akash, but the latter slots it wide off the goal

Less than 3 minutes remaining to half-time. India lead 1-0

A brilliant tackle given Amit was the last defender there, as he denies Faiz a clear chance at goal. Malaysia still manage to retain the ball but the tackle allows Indian defenders to take positions

IND 1-0 MAS

No goal from the first PC as Harmanpreet's shot finds the foot of the first rusher. Another penalty corner awarded for India, but a poor delivery from Shamsher and India lose the ball

IND 1-0 MAS

Indian defence very tight, not allowing Malaysia any space to operate inside the circle. Craig Fulton a happy man so far

IND 1-0 MAS

Sreejesh uses his pad to brilliant effect to deny Malaysia a counter-attacking goal! The goalkeeper had come on before ths start of second quarter
