Sports: India defeated South Korea in the second semifinal of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024. The Harmanpreet Singh-led side made light work of the Koreans to register a 4-1 win and make their way into the tournament's final for the sixth time. The Men in Blue will face hosts China in the final on Tuesday, September 17.

India began well with an attack in the early minutes. Abhishek made an entry into the Korean D in the fourth minute but his effort was saved. In the very next minute, Uttam gave a good ball to Raheel, whose cut was saved by the goalkeeper as Korea somehow managed to keep the score 0-0. But the constant attacks paid dividends when Araijeet Hundal's square pass went to Uttam Singh, who put the ball into the goal to take India 1-0 over the Koreans. 

They kept the intensity going and found the second goal from Indian captain Harmanpreet Singh, who converted a penalty corner into a goal in the 19th minute. While the Koreans looked to challenge the defending champions a few times, there was hardly any stopping for the Men in Blue. At the start of the third quarter, Jarmanpreet sent India 3-0 up.
