Madhur Sidar Opens Scoring as India Controls Semifinal Against South Korea

The semifinal encounter between India and South Korea at the AHF Junior Women’s Asia Cup 2026 was decided early when forward Madhur Sidar threaded a perfect attacking move to put the champions ahead in the 13th minute. India’s structured buildup allowed them to dominate possession, and the subsequent penalty‑corner in the 17th minute saw Supra unleash a lethal drag‑flick to double the lead. A third goal arrived from Sukveer Kaur after a well‑timed cross, extending the margin to 3‑0 before halftime. Despite a brief resurgence from South Korea with a set‑piece goal, India’s relentless pressure, anchored by Supra’s second‑half hat‑trick, sealed a 5‑1 win and a ticket to the final.
