India vs Korea semi-final
The playoffs of the 2024 Asian Champions Trophy are all set to begin on Monday, September 16, with two semi-finals and the fifth-place playoff scheduled to take place. One of the biggest games of the day will be the defending champions India taking on the 2021 champions Korea in the hope of extending their title run at least till the finals a day later on Tuesday, September 17. India finished first in the points table, while Korea finished fourth to get the payoffs qualification.
The journey to the semi-finals has been completely different for the two teams. The men in blue will be heading into the semi-finals with a 100 per cent win record in the competition, while Korea had to wait till the final matchday to book their tickets to the playoffs.
Harmanpreet Singh-led team India started their campaign with a 3-0 win over the hosts China, before defeating Japan 5-1 and annihilating the 2023 finalists Korea 8-1 to confirm their place in the semi-finals. However, despite getting the early qualification, Craig Fulton and company were in no mood to slow down, as they then defeated Malaysia 3-1 and Pakistan 2-1 to end their group stage with a perfect win record. Skipper Harmanpreet Singh is currently the leading goalscorer for India, with five goals to his name.
On the other hand, the Korean side started their campaign with back-to-back draws against Japan (5-5) and Pakistan (2-2) before defeating hosts China 3-2 to secure their first win of the competition. However, they then lost to India but played a 3-3 draw against Malaysia to secure their place in the semi-finals. Korea will be the ultimate underdog in the game, as they will have the services of Y Jihun against India, who is currently the leading goalscorer in the competition with seven goals to his name.
