India completed the men's Junior Asia Cup pool stage in Moqi, China, with a 15-0 victory over Chinese Taipei on September 9, 2026. Hockey India's results record shows three wins and a draw across four group matches, putting the scale of the final pool victory in its tournament context.
The campaign began with a 14-0 win over Indonesia. A 3-3 draw against Japan followed before India beat Korea 7-3. Together with the Chinese Taipei result, those scores produce 39 goals for and six against, a calculation from the federation's published fixtures.
The contrast is important: the two biggest wins supplied 29 of India's goals, while Japan took a point and Korea scored three. The headline margin alone therefore says less about the competitive tests India faced than the complete group record.
October 12 archive update: India subsequently beat Malaysia 3-1 in the September 11 semifinal and Korea 4-1 in the September 13 final. These later results are not presented as facts available when NewsLive24 first published this article on September 10. The original source page has since moved to semifinal coverage and inconsistently names South Africa in its headline and Korea in its body; the federation's fixtures identify Korea.
