FIH Pro League: India thrashed by Argentina – Highlights

20' - Argentina extend LEAD!

Argentina come into the circle via the baseline on the left and Pawan does well to cut down the angle and intercept.

The clearance, however, falls back to Argentina, who have completely opened up the Indian defence this time.

The ball finds Tomas Domene, who is the only Argentine inside the circle, to perfection.

He fools his marker exceptionally with a 360-degree turn and slots the ball into the net. A brace for Domene!

India sink even deeper into the hole!

IND 0-3 ARG

18' - INDIA MISS TWO PCs!

Harmanpreet Singh with the usual drag flicking duties and he messes up not once but twice.

He fails to get hold of the ball properly in the first attempt and it is an easy interception for Argentina. However, the defence fails to clear it away properly and India bounce back to earn another penalty corner.

The second drag flick from Harmanpreet is blocked comfortably by Tomas Santiago.

The Indian captain is having a horror outing!

IND 0-2 ARG

18' - PC, INDIA!

A brilliant run by Shilanand Lakra from deep in his own half, before putting the ball to Abhishek inside the circle. 

Abhishek smartly puts it to a defender's feet and earns a penalty corner.

IND 0-2 ARG

END OF FIRST QUARTER!

How have India managed to find themselves two goals down?

They had the better of the exchanges for almost the entire first quarter. They had two penalty stroke opportunities to take the lead, but mess up.

Argentina make them pay dearly. Absolute harakiri from the hosts in the final two minutes and they find themselves in a deep hole.

IND 0-2 ARG

15' - ARGENTINA SCORE AGAIN!

Well, well, well...Argentina have doubled the lead in the dying moments of the first quarter.

They earn a penalty corner and try a variation. There's massive chaos inside the circle after a brilliant save from Suraj Karkera and the ball hits an Indian defender on the feet, handing Argentina a second PC.

The visitors try a variation the second time as well and they nearly had messed it up with Tomas Domene's stick seemingly stuck on the pitch. 

Domene, however, recovers and finds a gap to the far right corner. Pierces through the defence and thuds into the goal post.

IND 0-2 ARG

14' - ARGENTINA SCOREE!

Oh wow! Argentina have turned this around. Just seconds after the penalty stroke miss from India, the visitors have opened the scoring.

A 1-2 inside the circle from Argentina before Tomas Ruiz slots it in.

A goal against the run of play and India only have themselves to blame.

They should have been 1-0 up, but are instead trailing 0-1.

IND 0-1 ARG

14' - HARMANPREET MISSES TWICE!

Harmanpreet Singh steps up to take the penalty stroke. He goes to the right of Tomas Santiago, the goalkeeper.

Santiago stretches to his right and blocks with his leg. The Indian skipper asks for a review straightaway. He feels, the goalkeeper moved before the whistle.

The replays prove him right and India are handed another penalty stroke.

Harmanpreet, once again, goes to the right of the goalkeeper. Santigao saves yet again. 

DRAMA AS INDIA MISS TWO CHANCES!

IND 0-0 ARG

14' - PENALTY STROKE, INDIA!

Brilliant pick up and run into the circle by Aditya Lallage from the right. He is given a shove from the back by an Argentina defender and is tackled.

The umpire rightly awards a penalty stroke to India!

IND 0-0 ARG

10' - Brilliant from Amit Rohidas!

Maico Casella with the drag flick for Argentina and Amit Rohidas clears it away as he usually does with those first rushes.

The on field umpire feels it has hit Rohidas' foot and hands Argentina a second PC. The Indian veteran immediately asks for a review.

He is right. That was a clean interception. Decision reversed.

IND 0-0 ARG

10' - PC, Argentina!

Argentina earn the first penalty corner of the match. A scramble inside the circle and the ball eventually rolls into Rabichandra's feet.

IND 0-0 ARG
