In the second half, coach Khalid Jamil made substitutions, bringing Prabhasukh Singh Gill, Jay Gupta, and Mohammed Senen onto the field, attempting to change the course of the game. Although the result was not in India's favor, the team stubbornly confronted the world team until the end of the match in front of a large crowd of fans at the Salt Lake stadium.
