Tokyo Olympics: Savita Punia managed to save all the nine shots directed at her during India vs Australia
The Indian women's hockey team stunned Australia to enter the semi-finals in Tokyo Olympics on Monday. The team scripted history by qualifying for the Olympic Games semifinals for the first time, beating three-time champions Australia by a solitary goal. Coming into the match, the odds were against India as world no. 2 Australia, a mighty unbeaten opponent, awaited them in the last eight round. India put up a strong performance to eke out the narrow win over the Hockeyroos. Drag-flicker Gurjit Kaur rose to the occasion when it mattered and converted India's lone penalty corner in the 22nd minute to surprise the Australians. A goal that will go in the history books! ????Watch Gurjit Kaur's brilliant drag flick that led #IND to a 1-0 win over #AUS in an epic quarter-final ????#Tokyo2020 | #UnitedByEmotion | #StrongerTogether | #Hockey | #BestOfTokyopic.twitter.com/MkXqjprLxo म्हारी छोरियां छोरो से कम है के।Our women's #hockey team too has entered the semifinals at #Tokyo2020 beating Australia in a thrilling quarterfinal.What a match!
