FULL TIME: A deserving 4-1 win for Korea. India paid the price for their missed chances as the forward line never looked in sync. The midfielders and counter-attacks created a number of opportunities for the forward but forwards were never up to the mark. Defenders did their bit but finally submitted to the Korean onslaught. PC has been another concern for India. They got 4 PC and couldn't convert even a single. Korea got as many as 5 and converted 3 of them.
