The '''2007 Men's Hockey Asia Cup''' was the seventh tournament of the [[Men's Hockey Asia Cup|Hockey Asia Cup]] for men. It was held from August 31 to September 9, 2007 in [[Chennai]], [[India]]. [[India men's national field hockey team|India]] won, defeating [[South Korea men's national field hockey team|Korea]] in the finals, seven goals to two. Korea came in second and [[Malaysia men's national field hockey team|Malaysia]] came third.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fih.ch/news/asia-cup-ready-to-start/|title=2007 Asia Cup;FIH.com|access-date=29 April 2021}}</ref>

India led 3-1 at halftime. In the early stages of the second half, Korea staged a walkout led by their coach, because of a decision by the umpire to disallow a goal scored by Korea. In response, India scored a goal through a counterattack in the next minute. Two Korean forwards had continued to argue with the umpire on the disallowed goal. Korea never recovered, while India's forward line scored 3 more goals to make it 7-1 before Korea reduced the margin to 7-2 in the penultimate minute. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://drishtikone.com/blog/2007/09/10/indian-hockey-team-wins-asia-cup-2007/|title = India wins the 2007 Asia Cup|access-date=29 April 2021}}</ref>

Baljit Singh, the Indian goalkeeper, was declared the man of the match for his excellent saves. The striking feature of India's win was that all 7 goals were 'field' goals, and none of them came through 'penalty corners' or 'strokes'. India thus ended the tournament with 57 goals for and just 5 goals against them.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/hockey/india-look-for-chennai-inspiration-in-2007-asia-cup-to-qualify-for-hockey-world-cup|title=Indian team to take inspiration from the 2007 Asia Cup;Sportskeeda.com|access-date=29 April 2021}}</ref>
