Kuala Lumpur, Sept 26: India came from behind to scrape past a gritty South Korea 4-2 in a keenly contested match to book a berth in the final of the Asia Cup Hockey tournament here today. Trailing 0-1 till the 53rd minute, India bounced back in to the match with four goals in quick succession to win their first match against the Asian Games winners in five years.

India, who were erratic in the first half, put their act together after the break to avenge for their loss against the defending champions in the semi-final of the last edition of the game. India will now play either Pakistan or Japan, who will be playing in the second semifinal later in the day, for their maiden Asia Cup title on Sunday. Bureau Report
