Plenty of drama unfolded as Akashdeep Singh and Muhammad Faisal Qadir got involved in a scuffle and the referee sent the two players out to cool themselves down.

Pakistan pulled back into the game after being hammered by India, with Mohammad Irfan Junior tapping the ball in after Rizwan's shot beat Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh. With seven seconds to go for the final whistle, Pakistan got their final chance to score an equaliser after being awarded a penalty corner with time running around.
