India led 3–1 at halftime. In the early stages of the second half, Korea staged a walkout over a decision by the umpire to disallow a goal scored by Korea. India scored a goal through a counterattack in the next minute, while two Korean forwards had continued to argue with the umpire on the disallowed goal. India's forward line scored 3 more goals to make it 7–1, before Korea reduced the margin to 7–2 in the penultimate minute.
Baljit Singh, the Indian goalkeeper, was declared the man of the match. All 7 goals of India's goals 'field' goals, and none came through penalty corners or penalty strokes.
