Half time: The 1st half time belongs to Ukraine comprehensively. They deserve to lead at this stage. Their agile defense and mid-field have kept the flanks closed for the Indians. On the other hand, Indians, using their short passes, have been guilty of a good finish. Their mid-fielders and forward line don't look in-sync with each other.
