India Go Down 1-2 To Australia As Late Goal Seals Sultan Of Johor Cup 2025 Title
Indian Goalkeeper Prince Deep Singh: The Indian junior men’s hockey team produced a fighting performance but went down 1-2 to Australia in the Final of the Sultan of Johor Cup 2025 in Johor, Malaysia, on Saturday.
India conceded a goal in the 13th minute before hitting back through Anmol Ekka (17’) early in the second quarter to draw level. The contest remained evenly poised until the final moments, when Ian Grobbelaar (59’) converted a late penalty corner to seal the title for Australia.
India began on a promising note, moving the ball around with short, crisp passes that gave them the bulk of possession in the early exchanges. Their first big chance came within the opening five minutes when a quick give-and-go between Araijeet Singh Hundal and Sourabh Anand Kushwaha set up Gurjot Singh at close range, but Australian goalkeeper Magnus McCausland dealt with it well.
