Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro: Goalkeeper Lucia Ines Caruso pulled off a couple of good saves in the shoot-out, including a penalty stroke, as Italy defeated Chile 2-1 in the tie-breaker after a 2-2 draw in regulation time in a classification match in the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers here on Thursday.

Italy were cruising towards victory having taken a 2-1 lead with goals by Bruni Antonella (20th min) and Federica Carta (24th min) scoring in quick succession after Francisca Tala had given Chile an early lead in the 13th minute.

However, Chile came back to level scores through Paula Valdivia seven minutes before the final hooter and took the match into the shoot-out at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro-Turf Hockey Stadium.
