India repeats a Delhi encore here in Ipoh

India posted a fluent 4-2 win over arch rivals Pakistan here in the league match of the Azlan Shah Cup.

Experienced Indian side overcame the heavy ground to outwit young Pakistan side, with goals coming in regular interval.

Sardar Singh bounced on to a rebound off goalie Imran Shah to given India the much needed lead in the 26th minute penalty corner, only to see it is cancelled out early in the second half.

In the 4th minute, Mandeep Antil, the youngster, struck after two other shots did not take the ball to the intended place.

The young Pakistan side was not giving up, made counter attacks but in the process gave much leeway to Indian forwards to relish.

In that environ came those three minutes in the second half, in which India scored a brace, both peach of goals.

The ultimate Man of the Match Gurbaj Singh scored on his own effort. It was his own midfield pass that saw the ball in the circle, and then when goalie took the shot of a fellow forward, Gurbaj came from no where to spot, collect and hit the ball straight into the cage even as he was falling.

The great effort expectedly gladdened the crowd who braved the rain to be here to cheer the team.

By now trailing 3-1, Pakistan was a tired side, as their defence started shaking.

Running parallel, Shivender and Tushar exchanged the ball before the latter found himself alone with the ball in the circle only to beat the goalie, which he did with consummate easiness, then threw his hands open.

Pakistan did manage to score a goal off Kashif Ali, who played Junior Asia Cup at Hyderabad in 2008.

India, who appeared to relax then woke up and got even two penalty corners, the last one coming as the hooter, but the scoreboard remained unmoved.

Tomorrow is rest day, India will take on Korea day after tomorrow in its third match.
