India loses the second test to Japan 1-4 at Gifu, Japan today. On Friday, Japan defeated the visitors 3-0 in the tour opener.
Today in the second test, Japan lead India 1-0 at half time, before striking three goals in the second half. India replied with a goal from Rani Ramphal.
Japan got eight penalty corners and converted one in each half
Tameto Kaya scored in the very second minute itself off a penalty corner to put her side take the lead, which was again added by Nagayama Kama in the 44th minute. She also converged a penalty corner. In the 48th minute, India made a match of it with Rani Ramphal scoring a field goal. However, due to questionable umpiring — there is no neutral umpires, nor India send her own umpires — Indians have been kept conceding goals.
Nakashima Mie in the 57 th minute and Nagayama Kama five minutes later added to Japan’s tally.
The third test will be played on Tuesday
