India hammered Japan 5-0 in the semi-finals of the Asian Champions Trophy here on Friday. More importantly, four of these five goals were field goals, something the Indian team has been lacking in throughout the tournament.
However, coach Craig Fulton insisted that it didn`t matter how the goals came as long as they keep coming. "It honestly doesn`t matter if we score through field goals or penalty corners. I`m happy if we score either way. It`s just that it`s ideal to have a balance of both field goals and penalty corners, but that cannot always happen," Fulton said at the post-match press conference.
