Belgium then promptly replied with two back to back goals in the 37th and 40th minute to level the game. Marie Goenns scored the first goal through a penalty stroke followed by a field goal by Marte Marie. With just nine minutes left on the clock in the fourth quarter, Kanika successfully converted a penalty corner and scored the winning goal to help India maintain their winning streak during their European Tour.

In the 35th minute, India finally scored the opening goal as Lalthantluangi successfully converted a fortunate penalty stroke. In the last quarter, Van Hellemont (48') scored the equaliser through a field goal for Belgium. However, just two minutes later, Geeta Yadav replied with a field goal herself and grabbed the winner for India.
