The favourites India, who had to suffer the heartbreak despite giving it their all in the field, will now clash against South Korea for a bronze medal on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Pakistan goalkeeper Salman Akbar saved the last shot of a penalty shoot-out to help his team knock out defending champions South Korea after both teams failed to break a 1-1 deadlock in extra-time.
The final that will be played on Thursday will be Pakistan’s first since they won the last of their seven Asiad titles way back in Beijing in 1990. (ANI)
