Gurjit Kaur scored the only goal of the game as a resolute India women’s hockey team saw the back of Australia in their maiden quarter-final game on Monday.

India women’s hockey team managed to save a whopping 8 penalty corners while converted the only one that they got in the match to register one of the most famous wins in Olympic history.
