In an attempt to score level India started pressing  and made some good penetrations in to the circle but they weren\u2019t able  to score as few Indian forwards held the ball few seconds extra that  allowed USA defenders to come back in to high numbers to defend their  goal. <\/p>\n<p>India finally managed to draw level to USA by scoring in  the 56th minute. Poonam Rani penetrated in to the circle to give a  tailor made pass to Chanchan Thokchom and the latter made no mistake to  tip-in the ball.
