The Indian colts scored three goal each in either half at the Taman Daya Hockey stadium to continue their unbeaten run in the six-nation tournament.

It was India's fourth win on the trot in the tournament, having defeated England (2-1), Argentina (3-2) and Pakistan (4-0) in their previous matches.

For India, Amit Rohidas (7th minute), Satbir Singh (9th), Talwinder Singh (31st) netted three goals in the first half, while Amon Mirash Tikey (57th), Ramadeep Singh (62nd) and vice-captain Affan Yusof (65th) score three more on the other side of the break.

Korea's lone goal came from the stick of You Seung Ju in the 34th minute.

India will take on hosts Malaysia in Sunday's final. Malaysia also secured its place in the summit clash after defeating Pakistan 4-2, their fourth consecutive win, in the last round-robin match of the day.

Both India and Malaysia, who have 12 points each in their kitty, will play each other in their last round-robin engagement on Saturday.

Against Korea, the Indians came up with a commanding performance and dominated the share of exchanges in the first half with a comfortable 3-0 lead.

It took India just seven minutes to open the scoring through drag-flicker Rohidas who converted a penalty corner with precision that Korean goalkeeper Lee Se Young had no answer.

India doubled their lead two minutes later through a field goal from Satbir after he was set up by Harjeet Singh.

Talwinder made it 3-0 for the Indians four minutes from half time through another field strike.

The Koreans, however, managed to pull one back three minutes later when You Seung Ju scored from a penalty corner.

India slowed down the pace after the lemon break and conceded a few penalty corners but the Koreans failed to utilise the scoring chances.

After a slow start to the second half, India gradually took control of the proceedings and scored three more field goals to run away with the match.

Amon Mirash Tikey scored India's fourth goal in the 57th minute before Ramandeep scored his fifth goal in the tournament five minutes later. Yusof completed the rout for Korea five minutes from the hooter.

India's chief coach Gregg Clark was full of praise for his wards after their sterling performance.

"It was a good performance and this surely gives me a welcome headache as we have several more players back in India that are fighting for a place in the final 18 to the Junior World Cup," Clark said.

"We are playing well and credit to the boys who are executing our tactics and plans well on the pitch. As a coach this is something we look towards hence the performance in the last two matches has been on the rise," he added.

किमची कोरिया का मुख्य नहीं बल्कि सह- भोजन(साइड डिश) है ।

<पारम्परिक कोरियाई भोजन का आनंद लेते कुछ वरिष्ठ साथी> भोजन मानव संस्कृति का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। कोरियाई संस्कृति भी इस कथन का पूरक है। कोरिया का खाना यहाँ की सांस्कृतिक पहचान का एक ऐसा हिस्सा जो भारत और पश्चिमी निवासियों के आहार और प्रचार से काफी अलग है । कोरिया के भोजन विशेषकर अनाज ( खासकर चावल ) , मांस , और कुछ सब्ज़ियों पर जोर देता है । हालांकि अमेरिका , पूंजीवाद , पश्चिम का प्रभाव और औद्योगीकरण जैसे तत्वों के मेल के साथ यहाँ के लोगों ने पिज्जा , हैमबर्गर और बीयर को भी अपनाया है । इसके अलावा जापानी सुशी और चीन के कुछ भोजन तथा दक्षिण पूर्वी एशिया और भारत के व्यंजनों की लोकप्रियता भी प्रमुख है। कोरियाई भोजन में साधारणतः चावल , सूप या स्टू , और कई साइड व्यंजन रहते है और लगभग सभी खानों में साइड व्यंजन के रूप में किमची या मसालेदार सब्जियां रहती है । राष्ट्रीय आहार में किमची का सबसे ज्यादा ...
