That will not be the ideal 2nd half for India. Going into the 2nd half with 6-1 on the board, they scored only 2 goals and missed a number of chances. Even though they won the match 8-1, they will need to reflect on the urgency displayed by them which resulted in poor finishing and missing umpteen chances of scoring. Italian defense line needs to be complimented for bearing the relentless pressure from India and thwarting many attacks from India. Having lost to Canada 9-0 yesterday, Italy definitely has something to cheer about today with their escalated performance against a much stronger opponent-India.
