What happened
India's men's hockey team beat South Korea 8-1 in the semi-final of the Asian Champions Trophy, being played in Punjab, according to The Bridge. It is India's seventh final in the tournament — a record.
India had already beaten Korea 8-0 in the league stage and finished the group unbeaten.
Why it matters
India are the defending champions and have been the strongest team in Asia this year. Winning again would build confidence ahead of a new-look squad for the FIH Pro League, which coach Craig Fulton has said he plans to field.
