Even stevens after the end of third quarter and just 15 minutes more left.
Good half for Belgium. They got the all-important equaliser. Both the teams showed the attacking intent. 15 minutes to settle this. Who will score the the winner in regular time? Or will we head to a shoot-out again?
Last quarter coming up! Don't go anyway!

It's another cracker of a game, despite the lack of goals. The one goal that did come was hockey at its absolute best from India, with 5 one touch passes setting up a tap in into an empty goal for Abhishek. A delightful set up for the upcoming second half.
GOALLL!
India score!
What a GOAL! It's the 5 quick one touch passes that give Abhishek an open goal to tap the ball into. Gurjant, Lalit and Sukhjeet heavily involved in the build up there.

Belgium start the quarter positively. Charlier sets up the attack for them and a flashing cross causes confusion in the Indian circle. But Varun manages to clear.

Belgium again enter the Indian circle and Jarmanpreet error hands Belgium a PC which they fail to convert, a poor drag flick, Varun steers the ball away to Lalit, who makes a mess of a free hit.
India 0-0 Belgium
India on back foot at the start. Belgium with a good ball into the circle with two quick passes. But Harmanpreet calmly gets a tackle in before Boone could get his shot away. Belgium on the attack from the word go.
