Hockey Pro League: India Go Down 3-4 To Argentina Despite A Spirited Performance
FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian men’s hockey team put on a very spirited display against Argentina, but went down narrowly 3-4 in their FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 game, at the Wagener Hockey Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands.
For India, Harmanpreet Singh (12’, 33’) netted twice whilst Abhishek (42’) added a third. For Argentina, the goals came from Matias Rey (3’), Lucas Martinez (17’), Santiago Tarazona (34’) and Lucio Mendez (46’).
With all to play for, it was Argentina who came out of the blocks quicker than India. And the early pressure paid off as Matias Rey (3’) was on hand to fire the Argentine side into the lead. After that, the Indian men’s hockey team absorbed the pressure and started to build in attack, causing their opponents some moments of worry. India continued to push for the equaliser, and just before the break, it was Harmanpreet Singh (12’) who smashed it home, to end the quarter at 1-1.
