Welcome to The Bridge's LIVE blog from India's clash against Canada in the Junior Hockey World Cup 2021
The Indian colts fell to an unexpected defeat in their opening encounter against the less fancied France on Wednesday. With their title defence already looking in a mess can the Vivek Sagar Prasad led side put up a better show today against the Canadians?
Stay tuned for all the latest updates!
"We were angry after yesterday's loss and wanted to make a comeback. This is a great win and hopefully, all our next matches will go well," says Hundal.
Araijeet Hundal takes the Man of the Match for his Hat-trick and that's all we have for today. Thank you for joining in. See you next time!
Is there a better word to describe this? If there is, I do not know. This was just too easy for the Vivek Sagar-led side. While they were 4-0 up right until the end of the first half, the goal from Tardif then just spurred them on.
The Indians came out with vengeance in the third quarter and scored three then. The Canadian shoulders dropped then, and Indian slotted in six more in the final quarter to complete a 13-1 rout.
That was a long aerial shot, Maninder gets there and manages to deflect it as well, but it goes wide.
That's it from the match. A thumping win for INDIA to get their campaign back on track.
That's two hattricks in two days for Sanjay now. He has 6 goals in 2 matches so far. WHAT A MONSTER.
Just a slotting a casual Penalty Corner with a perfect drag flick. INDIA 13-1 CANADA
Just 3 minutes remaining in this contest, and India is still pressing. They want to squeeze in one or two more.
The first PC is missed, but Abhishek Lakra ensures the second one does not go to waste. The Canadian goalkeeper is shattered as he sees the ball go past him for the 12th time tonight.
India 12-1 Canada
Shardanand Tiwari with his second goal of the day and India go 11-1 up. This is just simple mockery of Canada by the Indians. Just too easy for Tiwari.
