India Vs Korea, Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2025 Highlights: After a delay of more than 6 hours to the match, India saw off Korea's challenge on the opening matchday of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2025 by 1-0. Raheel's effort in the 1st quarter remained the point of difference as IND produced a dominating performance .

Mohammed Raheel's goal in the 1st quarter proved to be the point of difference as India edged past Korea to open their Sultan Azla Shah Cup 2025 campaign in style. We had to wait for over 5 hours for the start of this fixture, which was delayed due to excessive rain in the host city of Ipoh, Malaysia. Making their return after six years in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, India gave little to no chances for Korea to stage a comeback after taking the lead in the first 15 minutes. The Indians were absolutely dominant in the midfield, while Korea struggled to make circle penetration and also had just 37% of ball possession with India keeping more than 50% of the ball. This victory will boost India's morale as they will now gear up to take on Belgium in their upcoming match.
