--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
India 2 -- Sandeep Singh 27th, 48th.
NZ 2 -- Richard Petherick 8th, Joseph Barth Holomew 64th.
Note: All four goals were from pernalty corners.

India coach Harendra Singh: We Indians, Pakistan including, must learn to be patient when with the ball. We lost out after taking the lead today because we were in a hurry to counter attack.
In the process, we lose the ball and also the game.\
Even when in the semi-circle, we seem to be the ones who are in a hurry, and dont wait for the defenders to make the move, and then score.
This is where are are losing out.
Now we have to play and emotional game against Pakistan to qualify for the final.
