Japan have won their first ever gold medal in women's hockey at the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta after out-playing India in the finals. Goals from Minami Shimizu and captain Kawamura Motomi were enough to secure a 2-1 victory over their high-ranked rivals. In the early bronze medal match, China beat Korea by a tight 2-1 scoreline.

The faces said it all. The younger ones, playing their first Asian Games and winning a silver, were all smiles at their first ever continental medal. The senior pros, including captain Rani Rampal who was playing in her third Asiad, tried hard to control their tears. The 2-1 loss to Japan in the final on Friday was a cruel end to their dreams of booking an Olympic ticket.

Golden chance gone
No gold in hockey as Asia No. 1 women lose to Japan in final; direct berth to Tokyo missed
Vinayak Padmadeo
The Indian women’s team will have to wait another four years for a shot at the Asian Games gold — they were beaten 2-1 by Japan in this edition’s final. At the end when the hooter went, the Japanese team circled around its coaching staff and, beginning with chief coach Anthony James Farry, tossed all staff members up in the air to celebrate their maiden Asiad gold. The Indians were shocked, on their haunches, looking at each other, trying to hold back tears after missing a golden chance to earn a direct qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Indian girls miss out crucial Gold
s2h Team
Vandana Katariya was a forlorn figure in the entire medals award ceremony that lasted almost an hour after the final match between Japan and India. She had her own reason. Just a mere sixteen seconds before the hooter, Rani Rampal created an opportunity for India to score the elusive equalizer that can take the Asian Games final to shoot out. Rani cleverly found a gap among almost half a dozen defenders inside the circle. Yet the veteran perfectly timed the ball in her through ball that crossed a maze of legs and rolled to the right of goalie who was already charging and in that process fell 5,6 yards away from cage. All Vandana, who was just crouch-standing facing the goalie, should do was to gently deflect the ball into the empty goal. But she harried, carried away at the heat of moment. Her push was just fraction of degree wrong-angled. The ball agonizingly rolled a couple of inches to the left post. It was misfortune that the ball moved the way it did. For Vandana, who scored one of the beautiful solo goals of the Jakarta Asian hockey meet --- it was against Korea -- its heart-breaking moment, and it was.

Former hockey Olympians slam Pakistan’s performance in Asiad
KARACHI: Former Pakistan hockey players Samiullah Khan and Mudassar Asghar on Friday slammed the national side’s performance after they lost 1-0 to Japan in the Asian Games semi-final against Japan on Thursday. The Olympians also urged the government to start an accountability process against those who are responsible. The loss to Japan not only takes away the hope of Pakistan bringing an Asiad gold medal home but also ends the team’s chance of directly qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “It is not a joke that you lost a match which could have been won quite easily to confirm a place in the final. I will suggest the government to take strict action against those who are responsible,” Samiullah said.

With exactly two minutes left on the clock, Hassan Azri made the move that would define the tense, taut, error-ridden thriller that India dished out against Malaysia in the Asian Games men’s semi-final. India led 2-1. When the clock winds down, seconds ticking away with one team leading by the slender margin of a goal and a final beckoning touching distance away, certain areas start shutting down in an athlete. Gone is the focus as mentally without looking at the clock, you start believing that time is on your side. It wasn’t on Malaysia’s side either. The only difference was Malaysia were aware of the surroundings; their players understood in those last seconds that they had only one card left to play — somehow control the ball and create mayhem in the Indian striking circle. Through a majority of the four quarters, Malaysia had realised that the weakest link in the Indian line-up, on that day, was the defence.

Malaysia stun defending champions India in penalty shoot-out
Muhammad Ali
JAKARTA: Japan took the wind out of Pakistan sails when they defeated the former champions 1-0 in Asian Games 2018 hockey tournament at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium here Thursday, disqualifying the country from reaching the finals. With this humiliating defeat against the minnows, all the tall claims made by the incompetent Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) officials bit the dust. Pakistan had entered the semi-finals as the top team of Group B after beating Thailand, Oman, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh and Malaysia. But Pakistan were shocked as Japan came like a bolt from the blue. In the first semi-final, Malaysia managed to defeat India after a penalty shootout. Pakistan and India will be competing for the bronze medal. Japan twice reached the victory stand, bronze in 1966 and 1970. In the previous Asian Games, they might be considered unlucky as on no less than seven times, Japan finished fourth. They attained fifth spot twice and ended sixth on four occasions. Pakistan are of course the most successful team with eight gold, three silver and three bronze medals. Pakistan’s performance in the Asian Games 2018 has been swept a way of disappointment over the country as it finished in the last four with only three medals, amongst the 37 participating countries, just above Afghanistan, Myanmar and Syria.
