FIH Hockey Pro League: Indian Men's Hockey Team Begins Campaign With 4-1 Over Spain
FIH Hockey Pro League: Skipper Harmanpreet Singh starred with a brace as the Indian men's hockey team started its FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24 season with a dominant 4-1 over Spain in their opening match held on Saturday at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium, Bhubaneswar.
While Harmanpreet Singh struck in the 7th and 28th minutes, Jugraj Singh (24') and Lalit Upadhyay (50') scored a goal each to help India seal a 4-1 win in their opening match of the season. Spanish captain Marc Miralles (34') was the lone goalscorer for the visitors.
Both teams were cautious in their approach, as they focused on maintaining their structure, with accurate passes in the midfield. It was India who came up with the first real attack as Hardik Singh made a stunning run from the right flank to draw the first penalty corner, which was duly converted by Harmanpreet with a fiery low drag-flick, making it 1-0 in the 7th minute.
