The first half against the Red Dragons was a evenly-contested affair with both sides settling for a 1-1 stalemate. Rahul KP scored the equalizer for India with a stunning effort moments before the half-time whistle. However, the absence of match practice became evident every passing minute. Sumit Rathi, Bryce Miranda, and Amarjit Singh Kiyam went down with muscle fatigue. China focused on expanding their play, carving open the visitors' backline. The Blue Tigers found themselves out of depth and ended up conceding a flurry of goals.
