ഏഷ്യൻ ഗെയിംസ് ഹോക്കി: മലേഷ്യയെ തകർത്ത് ഇന്ത്യയ്ക്ക് സ്വർണ്ണത്തിളക്കം; ചരിത്രനേട്ടവുമായി പുരുഷ ടീം

Another misplaced pass. Malaysia know what’s coming. Seconds to go now.

One final attack from India. Comes to nothing. But that is enough for India. A golden double for India in hockey.

A 5-1 win for the men’s team to join the women at the top step of the podium for the first time in history

A fifth Asian Games gold in men’s hockey. And back-to-back golds for the first time.

1966, 1998, 2014, 2022 and now 2026.

Malaysia did not make it easy for them in the first half, but once the third goal went in through a Hardik penalty stroke, Malaysia looked to have given up.

Dilpreet falls down in the circle. He asks for a foul but the decision goes against him. India asks for a review.

PC given for a back stick. Good referral.

GOAL!! Just one battery in place this time. Ball falls to Harmanpreet and his rocket drag-flick flies into the top left of the goal.

IND 5 - 1 MAS

PC for India after Vivek manages to push the ball into the defender’s foot.

Dilpreet to inject. Goes to the second battery and Rohidas’ shot is blocked. Another PC.

Into Jugraj now. His drag-flick is blocked by the first rusher’s foot. Third PC on the trot after a variation. Jugraj flicked it to Rajinder and his shot was blocked by the foot.

Malaysia reviews the PC call. Onfield call is retained.

Jugraj’s drag-flick is blocked by the defender again. PC again.

Jugraj tries to find Dilpreet on the left but the whistle goes for an obstruction.

Another PC opportunity for India. Abhishek’s slap finds a defender’s foot.

Penalty stroke for India! Unsure of whether it was a failed trap or a variation. Mandeep made a diving entry into the right of the goal and his shot was blocked by the defender on the line.

GOAL!! Hardik makes no mistake from the spot. The keeper went to his right early and he slots it in centrally.

IND 3 - 1 MAS

Penalty Corner for Malaysia. The shot ricochets off the defender’s foot.

Mohith with a brilliant save! Malaysia almost pulled one on India with a PC variation. The ball went to the second battery and it pushed to the left end of the cirle where Jalil took a shot. But it was saved by Mohith.

Malaysia want a review, asking for an Indian foot. PC given!

The second PC is blocked by the first rusher and that will be a retake. Comes to nothing eventually.
