Asian Women’s Handball C'ship: India Go Down Battling Against Japan, Finish Third In In Group Stage
Maninder Kaur scored India's first goal after a battling start, while goalkeeper Nina Shil carried her form over from the previous match to thwart Japan’s early attacks. As the game progressed, India moved the ball from side to side, attempting to fashion an opening through the sturdy Japan defence, but the heavyweights were too strong and quickly built a considerable lead over the hosts.
In between the Japan attacks, however, there were plenty of positives for India. Midway through the half, Sushma’s long-range goal drew huge applause from the Indian fans in the stadium. Moments later, Bhawana Sharma intercepted a Japanese attack, ran through on goal and finished with aplomb. Just before the half-time break, Bhawana scored another superb solo goal, while captain Diksha charged the crowd up with a brilliant save from her leg.
