As India lead 2-1, the team found expression, the panicking Canadians gave space, and in a matter of ten minutes, the host nation had closed the match with a 5-1 victory.

By the end of the third quarter, territorial possession, number of consecutive passes, dominance on the flank and that perennial bug-bear – missed chances – were all in India’s favour; except for the scoreline. And then Antoni Kindler in the 46th minute gave a glimpse of space to his right, between the pads and the post. A tic-tac between Kothajit Khadangbam and Dilpreet Singh saw the ball lie tantalisingly at Chinglensana Singh's stick. Without dragging it left or right, the Indian midfielder and vice-captain whacked it into the corner for India to lead 2-1. More importantly, the gates opened, the team found expression, the panicking Canadians gave space, and the Indians in a matter of ten minutes had closed the match with a 5-1 victory. To the delight of the 15,000 roaring fans inside The Kalinga, a quarter-final berth had been sealed.
