27'- Chance goes begging for India
A poor pass from Argentina and it lands straight into Sukhjeet's stick. He manages to dribble around a couple of defenders and passes it to Mandeep Singh in the circle. The latter, however, is unable to read it as India botches up a golden chance.

23' - SAVE, PR SREEJESH!
PR Sreejesh comes in for Krishan Phatak at the goal and he is in the game right away. A massive defensive lapse from India but Sreejesh comes way down the post, cuts down the angle beautifully and denies Argentina.
That was close!

19' - Two PC attempts fail
Two successive Penalty Corner fails for India, thanks to brilliant rushes from Argentina, before a third is given. Argentina reviews it but the on-field decision stays.

17' - India getting in rhythm
Nice little play from Hardik and Samsher to send the ball to Abhishek in the circle. But, the striker is surrounded. He did try to win a PC but to no avail.

End of first quarter
There's the hooter and that's the end of first quarter. 15 minutes of play done and dusted and neither teams have found the net. Argentina have clearly been the more dominant side but India has shown some signs of aggression in towards the end.
The men in blue did miss a good chance when Mandeep was left stranded in the circle with 30 seconds left in the first quarter. Exciting 15 minutes ahead of us.

12' - India on the charge
India is slowly but steadily trying to build attacks. They are relying mainly on counters for now but have had no success in breaking through. Multiple circle penetrations in the past couple of minutes, but the Argentinian defence has been clean.
