Last five minutes remaining. This game and gold medal is fast slipping away from India. Can they equalise here?
We are in the last quarter and India will be looking to score an equaliser to keep their gold medal hopes alive. Meanwhile, Japan will be happy to play the waiting game here as they have the lead. But they cannot afford to be complacent.
GOAL!!! Japan take lead again. A last-minute Penalty Corner for Japan and they take full use of it. Pressure back on India now as only one quarter is remaining now. Motomi Kawamura scores for Japan.
After a goal in each of the first two quarters, the third one, it seems, is going to be a goalless quarter. However, still some minutes to go and any team can take the lead here.
So, at the half-time, the scores are tied at one each. Japan opened the scoring in the first quarter and then India bounced back in the second quarter.
GOAL!!! India score the equaliser. Good work this by Navneet Kaur and Neha Goyal. Navneet's reverse-hit is well received by Neha, who puts the ball into the net. It is one each now!
India pressing hard for equaliser here. But all in vain. Japan continue to enjoy the slender lead as the game is in the second quarter.
That's the end of first quarter and Japan lead by 1-0. India will now have to find a way to equalise.
GOAL!!! Japan open their scoring. They go 1-0 up in the match. It was a Penalty Corner for Japan and they made it count. A drag-flick by Shihori Oikawa and it deflects off Savita's arm.
