Q3: PC for Spain

But India averts danger

Q3: India go down again, trail 0-2

Spain strike again, launching a swift move down the right. The ball is squared to Cobos Ignacio (35th minute) in the centre, who makes no mistake with a simple finish and extends lead to 2-0. 

Some sloppy work from Jugraj and credit to the strong Spanish midfield and forwards!

Q3: Spain on attack again

Spain comes very close to scoring early in the third quarter. Tale 2 attempts at Indian goalpost in just a minute.

Q3 gets underway!

Get better on ball. A lot of their chances are coming from our mistakes says Indian coach Craig Fulton

Meanwhile, Goalkeeper changed: Suraj is coming in as replacement for Mithun.

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.
