Kakamigahara, Sep 30: India's women's hockey team clinched a spot in the Asian Games 2026 final after defeating South Korea 2-0 in the semifinal. Ishika and an own goal were the goals that secured the victory for the unbeaten side. India, seeking their first gold since 1982, will now face China in the title match. The team, led by Salima Tete, dominated possession and territory for most of the game but had to wait until the third quarter for their first goal after South Korea's resilient defense prevented them from scoring earlier.
India had several penalty corner opportunities in the first quarter but failed to capitalize. South Korea also posed threats through attacks from both wings, yet India remained composed and organized defensively throughout the match.
