Half Time: India continues to trail 0-1

A fiercely physical and entertaining contest heads into half-time with Spain holding the edge.

India managed just two circle penetrations in the first half, compared to Spain’s nine (five in Q1 and four in Q2), underlining Spain’s attacking dominance.

As India return after the break, they will need to lift their attacking intensity and find sharper entries into the circle to turn the tide.

Q2: Jarmanpreet is injured

Jarmanpreet takes a blow to the stick and goes down in discomfort, prompting a video referral. After review, the video umpire rules no foul play, and play resumes with India still trailing.

Q2: India deny

Alert Indian defenders stand tall to deny Spain from converting the penalty corner, keeping the deficit at 0-1.

Q2: PC for Spain!

Both teams have upped their tempo and in the heat of a flurry of attacks Spain finds their first Penalty Corner. 

End of Q1: India trails 0-1

India were on the back foot in the opening quarter as Spain dictated the tempo. Spain lead 1-0, registering four circle penetrations to India’s one.

Abajo Ignacio’s sixth-minute strike remains the only goal so far.

Two-time bronze medalists would hope to bring their stronger game in teh second quarter.

Q1: India on backfoot

India under pressure as Spain surged forward yet again, slicing through the defense with sharp, crisp passing inside the circle. 

The ball was fired into the back of the net. But India was quick to go for a referral. The decision is overturned after a review. A huge relief for the Indian camp.

India continue to trail 0-1 with Spain in control.
