The Indian men's hockey team fell to their second consecutive home defeat after surrendering to Argentina 1-3 in penalty shootout. The loss yesterday has pushed India down from second position in the FIH Hockey Pro League table to fourth.
It was not an ideal start for Amit Rohidas in his captaincy career and it would be interesting to see how he responds as a leader.

20' - JUGRAAAAAAJJJJJ!
Fourth international goal for Jugraj Singh and it has come via a PC. Lalit this time with the corner and Jurag finds the back of the net with a very powerful dragflick.
The Argentinian defence left a lot of space during that rush and the goalkeeper had no chance.
IND 2-0 ARG

20' - PC, INDIA!
Yet another PC for India and it is the captain Amit Rohidas who earns it. A poor tackle from behind from Acosta and India now have a chance to double.

17' - HARDIK SCORESSSSS!
Mandeep earns a Penalty corner for India. Hardik comes with the shot from the corner, Harmanpreet's dragflick is blocked but it goes back to the former who slots it in with a wonderful chip.
So, India, once again, goes 1-0 up in the second quarter.
IND 1-0 ARG

End of first quarter
A very dull first 15 minutes to the match with both teams happy sitting back and trusting their defence. Neither India nor Argentina seemed very eager to aggress and the scoreline is yet to get a move.
IND 0-0 ARG

10' - Nothing too exciting
Nothing very exciting so far today. A very balanced contest so far with both teams enjoying almost equal possession. Both teams have tried to create attacks but the defence has been astute.

5' - India getting into rhytmn
India is slowly pressing forward but the mid-field and the strikers seem out of sync. Lot of misplaced passes for now by the Indian midfield.

2' - Argentina on the charge
Much like yesterday, Argentina start to press early on but nothing too dangerous as the Indians intercept comfortably inside the circle.
