Dominating in three of the four quarters, finding space on the flanks and the midfield zones, defenders playing as if auditioning for the roles of forwards, and pegging back the World Champions into a largely defensive role, the eventual shoot-out at the end of a 1-1 regulation time scoreline seemed a trifle unfair. Going into a period where luck does play a significant part, the 3-1 score in Australia’s favour tore India’s heart. It was gut-wrenching, one that made a ferocious midfielder like Manpreet Singh break into tears, an 18-year-old goal scorer, Vivek Prasad say "the hurt will remain" and a captain exclaim that "we gifted the Trophy to Australia."
