About IND vs KOR semi-final clash
Captain Harmanpreet Singh led by example, converting two penalty corners and raising his tournament goal tally to seven. Uttam Singh opened the scoring for India, followed by a third goal from Jarmanpreet Singh. Though Korea managed to pull one back in the third quarter, it was merely a consolation, just like in their previous encounter during the league phase. Korea hasn't beaten India since their 4-3 victory in the 2013 Asia Cup, marking 11 years without a win.
India remains the only unbeaten team in the tournament, having secured dominant victories over China (3-0), Japan (5-1), Malaysia (8-1), Korea (3-1), and Pakistan (2-1).
In the other semifinal, history was made as Pakistan was eliminated from the tournament. Chinese goalkeeper Wang Caiyu delivered an exceptional performance in the shootout, holding firm after the match ended in a 1-1 draw. In the penalty shootout, China triumphed 2-0 over Pakistan, securing their first-ever appearance in the ACT final.
