Men's FIH Pro League: India Overcome Tough Challenge From Ireland For 3-1 Win
Indian Chief Coach Craig Fulton: India fought back from a 0-1 deficit to win 3-1 against Ireland in the ongoing men's FIH Hockey Pro League 2024-25 at the world-class Kalinga Hockey Stadium here on Friday. It was an equaliser from Mandeep Singh (22') that set the tone of the match for India while Jarmanpreet Singh (45') and Sukhjeet Singh (58') helped the hosts take the lead. For Ireland, Jeremy Duncan (8') was the lone goal scorer.
The first quarter, however, was all Ireland as they made multiple circle entries and found themselves ahead of India in only the 8th minute when Jeremy Duncan smashed the ball past Krishan Pathak, making a swift foray from the right flank and no real threat from an Indian defender. It was Nelson's assist, that set up this fantastic opening goal. They made a few more attempts on goal which also included a PC but couldn't extend the lead.
India made amends for a slow and poor start by launching a promising attack early in the second quarter. It began with Sukhjeet attempting a shot on goal after picking up the ball from inside the circle but unfortunately ended up losing possession.
