India Extends Winning Streak with 4-1 Victory Over Japan at Asian Champions TrophyPreviousNext

India maintained their unbeaten streak at the Asian Champions Trophy with a 4-1 win over Japan in Jalandhar. Abhishek Nain scored twice in his 150th international match, while Harmanpreet Singh and Vishnukant Singh also scored. Despite early challenges breaking Japan's disciplined defense and limited penalty corners, India surged in the final quarter with three goals. Having secured a semifinal spot, India will next face Malaysia, a team known for tough competition despite a recent 5-1 loss to India in the Asian Games final.
