Sharda Nand Tiwari (11') added in the third goal for India from a penalty corner as India finished the first quarter with a 3-0 lead.

India continued their dominance in possession in the second half and managed to earn another penalty corner. But this time, the shot from Rohit was stopped in its track. A minute later, Araijeet Singh Hundal (19', 19') scored twice in a row to further extend India's lead and increase pressure on the opposition. At the stroke of halftime, Araijeet (30') struck a powerful shot towards the bottom right corner of the nets to complete his hat-trick and extend India's lead to 6-0.

Trailing by six goals, Chinese Taipei started showing urgency at the start of the third quarter. But India quickly regained possession, and Boby Singh Dhami penetrated inside the circle to create another opportunity, which Angad Bir Singh (37') converted into another goal.

A few seconds later, Aditya Arjun Lalage (37') tapped the ball into the nets after receiving a sublime pass from Angad. With Amandeep (38') scoring another goal in the next minute, India extended their lead to 9-0. India added in three more goals before the end of the quarter to take their lead to 12-0.

With 15 minutes left on the clock, India continued to push forward, and Boby Singh Dhami (46') found the back of the net once again. Chinese Taipei started defending in numbers in hopes of preventing more goals. But relentless attacks from the Indian troops kept up the pressure.
