Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2025: India Opens Campaign with 1-0 Win over South Korea

Mohammed Raheel scored the only goal in the 15th minute as India controlled possession and defended resolutely to secure a 1-0 victory over three-time champions South Korea.

  • On Nov 24, the Indian Men's Hockey Team opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over the South Korea national team at the Sultan Azlan Shah Stadium, Ipoh, Malaysia.
  • Scheduled for 1:30pm IST, the match was delayed by more than six hours due to incessant rains, and India returned to the tournament after six years, last playing in 2019.
  • In the opening exchanges, India dominated possession and Dilpreet Singh set up Mohammed Raheel, who scored in the 15th minute after a fine midfield buildup.
  • The victory gives India three points in the round-robin, and India will face Belgium on Monday with all matches broadcast live on FanCode.
  • With under a minute to play, Korea pressed late with a penalty corner while Mohith HS and Pawan's defence dug in to preserve India's 1-0 lead.
