Goal
Goal-Aus. 2-0 now. Poor defense by India as Australians penetrate the circle and give a cross pass to MITTON Trent, who is unmarked. It's just a formality for him.
42`
Others
Brilliant move by Bharat Chikkara and Shivendra Singh from the right flank but as the Aussie have fallen back, they are quickly dispossessed
34`
Others
India has attacked 2 times and the forward line coordination is sending shivers down the Aussie's spine. They have barely survived the Indian repeated attacks
4`
Others
The goal was due to sloppy defense, and failure of Dhananjay Mahadik to release the ball at once even as two forwards are around him. As he indulges in dribbling and hesitate to release from near the top of the circle, and gifts the ball at the top of the circle
33`
Others
Indians fails to trap that PC push! A counter attack follows and Dwyer is right there around the circle to do the honors. However, the pass is too quick for either the 2 Indian defenders or Australians to trap
37`
Others
Overhead pass for Australia. India gets the ball as Gurbaj keeps dribbling and beating the Aussie forwards. Nothing concrete move thereafter.

In the 1st half, the whole team was covering the whole ground. That's the reason that India didn't concede any more goals after the 2 early surprises. They accelerated the game and made Australians run for their opportunity. However, in the 2nd half, it was a flop show from the Indians. Australians were, no doubts, were the better teams in terms of consistency. They made the Indian team look very ordinary, especially in the 2nd half.
71`
Others
The pace with which India played in the 1st half found no match in the 2nd match.
It wasn't the same Indian team whose energy fizzled out of 1st half had died off.
They certainly were not the same team in the 2nd half.

Indians have applied the counter tactics to Australians. Most of the time when Australians attack, all of them go inside India's half. Indian team also falls back quickly at these moments. They clear and almost on all occasions, they create a very good counter attack to give shocks to Australians.

Goal
-India. Aus leads 2-1. As Indians survive the Australian attack convincingly, the whole of Australian team is in Indian half. Mahadik gives a beauty of a pass to Khandkar who rushes wildly towards to the midfield to give it to Dharam Singh, who is the loner in Australian half. Outplaying the Aus GK Nathan Burgers was the only thing he had to do. He does it convincingly by hitting it past the GK's right side
