FIH Pro League: India thrashed by Argentina – Highlights
44' - Tomas Santiago, SAVES!
India penetrate the circle from the right and they have the best chance of the quarter. Aditya Lallage does well in a moment of chaos, but Tomas Santigao's reflexes are top notch to deny.
IND 0-7 ARG
36' - A calm third quarter
The third quarter has been in complete contrast to what we saw earlier. Argentina are happy to sit back, as they should at this point.
India are looking to press forward but they haven't really created anything worth mentioning.
Argentina in complete control.
IND 0-7 ARG
31' - Back LIVE for second half
We are back LIVE for the second half. Argentina start with the possession. India move from right to left.
IND 0-7 ARG
HALF TIME!
That also brings an end to the first half. It is 30 minutes Harmanpreet Singh and co would like to erase from their memory forever.
They missed penalty strokes, the defence was in disarray. All that could go wrong went wrong.
Craig Fulton will have lots to say in the half-time break.
The question is can India fight back? Nothing, so far, indicates they can.
IND 0-7 ARG
30' - SANTIAGO SAVES!
A chance at last for India with a good ball into the circle from the left. But Tomas Santigao is at the top of his game.
Comes down from his post and denies.
IND 0-7 ARG
30' - HELLO THERE, GOAL NO 7!
Another penalty corner for Argentina and its another goal. A direct drag flick from Nicolas della Torre this time and he beats everyone to slot it in.
The ball took a deflection off Amit Rohidas' stick before landing in.
IND 0-7 ARG
29' - Argentina continue to press!
Two penalty corners for Argentina, but the Indian defence holds well this time around.
They, however, continue to press forward even after that. Two more circle penetrations, but thankfully for India no harm done.
IND 0-6 ARG
27' - INDIA IN SHAMBLES!
I'm losing out words to describe this from India. They seem clueless in the field.
A loose ball and they turnover the ball in the midfield.
The ball falls to Tomas Domene, who just runs away with it. He is on an 1v1 against Pawan and makes no mistake.
IND 0-6 ARG
25' - GOAL NO 5, ARGENTINA!
It just keeps getting worse for India. Ignaico Ibbara receives a grounded long pass at the left flank.
Again, no Indian defender seems interested to be covering him.
Jarmanpreet Singh and one other try to cut him off, but by then Ibbara is already in the circle and unleashes a shot.
It goes between the legs of Pawan at the near post and thuds into the goal post.
India take a review for back stick and are proven wrong.
IND 0-5 ARG
22' - ARGENTINA SCOREE, AGAIN!
This is terrible, terrible from India. A complete break down in communication between Nilam Xess and skipper Harmanpreet Singh.
A back pass from Xess and its a loose ball, piercing through the Indian defensive line. Harmanpreet is slow to react to rush back.
Lucio Mendez senses and opportunity and rushes ahead. There's no one to mark him.
Goalkeeper Pawan is in two minds, whether he should press forward to cut the angle or stay back. In the confusion, he is stuck in the middle.
Mendez just casually puts the ball past him into the net.
INDIA HAVE LOST THE PLOT COMPLETELY. HORRENDOUS!
IND 0-4 ARG
