The Indian Junior Men\u2019s Hockey Team continued their dominant performance at the Men\u2019s Junior Asia Cup as they convincingly beat Chinese Taipei 16-0 in their pool A match here in Muscat, Oman on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Dilraj Singh (17\u2032, 40\u2032, 45\u2032, 57\u2032) starred in the match with four scintillating goals while Indian defence held sway with goalies Bikramjit Singh and Prince Deep Singh ensuring a clean slate.<\/p>\n
Riding on their 3-2 win against a tough opponent like Japan in their previous pool A match, India began with early attack that fetched positive outcome. In only the 7th<\/sup>\u00a0minute of the match, the team\u2019s forwards secured a PC which was finely struck by Yogember Rawat. The early 1-0 lead gave India the right momentum for a high-scoring game.<\/p>\n Though there were no more goals in the first quarter, India Colts showed aggression in the second quarter scoring as many as four goals. It was mercurial forward Dilraj Singh, instrumental in India\u2019s performance in the recent Sultan of Johor Cup, who was the cynosure of the team\u2019s attack against Chinese Taipei. He scored the team\u2019s second goal in the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0minute. Sourabh Anand Kushwaha (20\u2032, 28\u2032) scored twice in this quarter while Rosan Kujur (23\u2032) too added to the team\u2019s 5-0 lead by half-time.<\/p>\n India continued to demolish the Chinese Taipei\u2019s defence with back-to-back goals in the third quarter. They played with pace, relied on short-passes to create space in the circle. They pumped a goal just a minute into the third quarter through Talem Priyobarta\u2019s PC. Rosan Kujur scored his second goal in the 32nd minute taking India\u2019s lead to a formidable 7-0.<\/p>\n Arshdeep Singh arrived to the party in the 37th<\/sup>\u00a0minute with a PC goal which was followed by a penalty stroke in the 39th minute by Sharda Nand Tiwari. This took India\u2019s lead to 9-0. The team scored four more goals in this quarter through Dilraj Singh (40\u2032, 45\u2032), Rosan Kujur (42\u2032) both of whom completed a hat-trick of goals. Arshdeep too added to the scoresheet in the 44th<\/sup>\u00a0minute giving India a 13-0 lead before entering the last quarter of the match.<\/p>\n The remaining 15 minutes was only a formality with the strikers scoring three more goals taking India\u2019s scoreline to an impressive 16-0. Stylish forward Araijeet Singh Hundal entered his name on the score sheet in the 54th<\/sup>\u00a0minute through a field goal while Dilraj scored his fourth individual goal in the 57th<\/sup>\u00a0minute while Sourabh Anand too completed his hat-trick with a 58th<\/sup>\u00a0minute field goal. This high-scoring win ensured India remained on top of the points table with nine points in pool A.<\/p>\n India will take on Korea in their next match on 1st<\/sup>\u00a0December at 1900 hrs local time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] The Indian Junior Men\u2019s Hockey Team continued their dominant performance at the Men\u2019s Junior Asia Cup as they convincingly beat Chinese Taipei 16-0 in their pool A match here in Muscat, Oman on Saturday.
