That's all we have from what has been a shambolic evening for Indian hockey. They began well but fell apart dramatically, starting from the fag end of first quarter.
They conceded seven goals in 16 minutes in what was probably the most clueless, one has seen an Indian team in over a decade. Missed penalty strokes, shoddy defending, unattended back passes, communication breakdowns – it had all the recipes of a disaster.
The hosts were much better in the second half, but couldn't score. The match eventually ended with Tomas Domene score his fourth in the final minute.
A lot to ponder for Craig Fulton and boys before they return on Saturday to take on Belgium.
Thank you for joining in!
