China beat South Korea 5-4 in the penalty shoot-out to take the women's field hockey gold medal at the 16th Asian Games on Wednesday.

This was the third successive gold medal for the Chinese women who played scoreless with the Koreans at the end of the extra time.

In the shoot-out, all five Chinese made their shots while South Korean Kim Eun Sil missed the first stroke.

However, both China and South Korea secured the two direct tickets to the 2012 London Olympics awarded by the International Hockey Federation.

Earlier, Japan took the bronze medal with a 1-0 over India.
