FT: IND 4-3 ARG
What a contest that was. Argentina kept bouncing back from whatever India threw against them but that goal from Mandeep in the dying moments was just too much to match. It is the second time in two days that Mandeep has helped India out of troubles with less than a minute left on the clock.
That's all we have from the Argentinian team's visit to India. Thank you for tuning into our coverage. See you next time!

60' - INDIA SCORESSSS!
India have scored with just 26 seconds left in the clock. Mad, mad stuff here in the Kalinga Stadium. This one came out of nowhere. A pass from way outside the box and Mandeep inside the circle guides it in without even looking towards the goalpost.
WHAT A GOAL. INDIA HAVE STOLEN A WIN OUT OF NOWHERE.

53'- India denied a goal!
Jugraj seemed to have converted yet another PC, but it is turned down after a review suggests India collected the ball inside the circle. Ah, what a heartbreak for the youngster who for a moment thought he has his second international hattrick.

Now Argentina earns a PC, but Phatak stands like a wall and saves. That was dangerous for India.

52' - JUGRAJ SCORESSS!
Hardik and Jugraj combine to hand India their lead back. A inch-perfect shot from the corner by the former, while the latter calmly slots it in to register his fifth international goal.
That's a brace for Jugraj tonight.

51' - ARGENTINA EQUALISE!
Argentina have fought back their way into this contest. With Krishan Phatak on the goal there was no way India were gonna stop that stroke. The visitors draw level.

51' - PENALTY STROKE, ARGENTINA!
The veteran Surender Kumar this time with a very terrible tackle from the back. A big stick contact this time and India does not review this time. Penalty Stroke for Argentina.

49' - India pressing forward
India keep pressing forward but the Argentina defence is up to the task and finding different ways to get out of trouble every time. Frustrating if you are an Indian striker at the moment.
