India v Switzerland

India (10) v Switzerland (3)

India scored almost from the kick off, their Danish reserve putting it neatly away. Two more goals followed in quick succession, with a lovely fourth goal from India's number six,  jinking left and right on the edge of the D to open up the space and slot it home.

The same player showed he could shoot from range too, blasting the ball into Switzerland's goal from deep inside his own half. India 5, Switzerland 0.

India were running away with it, with a sixth goal squeezed in. But Switzerland clawed one back. A huge goal, and it showed with the clenched fist celebration.

India were quickly back in command, scoring once more, and only the half time whistle saving Switzerland as the ball rolled towards the goal line again.

India started the second half neatly, putting the ball ball away to make it 8 - 1. But it wasn't all their way. Switzerland fought, their excellent goalkeeper making not just one, but two penalty saves. And Switzerland scored twice, their third goal a great strike from the number 10 into the top corner.

Fittingly, the game ended with a save from the Swiss keeper.
