“In the semi-final match between Australia and India, the penalty shootout started mistakenly too early [the clock was not yet ready to operate], for which we apologise,” the FIH said in a statement on Saturday. The FIH, however, defended the decision to re-take the penalty. “The process in place for such situations is that the penalty shootout has to be re-taken, which was done. This incident will be thoroughly reviewed by the FIH in order to avoid any similar issues in the future,” the FIH said. The decision by the umpire has come in for heavy criticism in India with the hashtag #cheating trending on social media.
