Kuantan (Malaysia): Top ranked India were held to a 1-1 draw by the brisk-moving South Koreans in the round-robin league encounter of the fourth Asian Champions Trophy hockey here on Saturday.
Placed five spots behind sixth-ranked India in the world rankings, the Koreans repeatedly caused ripples in the rival defence and found plenty of time and space to dribble into the scoring zone at the Kuantan Hockey Stadium. A series of saves by skipper PR Sreejesh saved India the embarrassment after they had fallen behind in the first quarter of
the game.
South Korea took the lead in the 11th minute off a flash strike by Jeong Jun-woo after a misdirected Indian pass in their own territory. India equalises in (33rd min) through Lalit Upadhyay, who sent a firm reverse drive into the boards.
