India, Spain settle in shootout as Argentina sides edge Belgium
Spain and India drew 2-2 in regulation time and for the second-straight game Spain were unable to perform in the shoot-out. A 3-1 shootout result, thanks to some brilliant net minding from Pathak, gave India the bonus point. In Mendoza, the Leonas came out with their free-flowing tempo but seemed just a bit off stride as they edged Belgium 1-0. Valentina Costa cleaned up a messy penalty corner for the game’s lone goal. The Argentina men battled it out end-to-end with a feisty Belgian side and a late penalty corner finish gave the Leones the 2-1 victory.
India wins Spain via shoot out, but both coaches will be worrying in the end
K ARUMUGAM
Goalkeeper Krishan Pathak turned out to be a double thorn in the flesh of fighting Spain, first in the regulation time and then in the shootout, as India garners two points in the repeat match of the FIH Pro League’s first mini tournament. Helped by a brace of goal from ever-reliable Harmanpreet Singh, India led the visitors 2-0 till 42nd minute. Till then the Indian defence, seemingly casual in conceding penalty corners, managed to block six of them but the seventh one in the 42nd minute reduced the margin. As the match was meandering to a draw, a close-range shot saw the ball hitting Indian defender Jugraj Singh’ foot and slip into the cage. India won the shootout 3-1 after Krishan Pathak stopped first two shots of Spain. However, both coaches, Graham Reid and Max Caldas, will ponder over their team’s show today, as there were plenty of no show from their wards.
India Storm to Top of Pro League Points Table with Shootout Win over Spain
It was a match where the Indians held the ascendancy for most part before Spain mounted a late surge to make it evens stevens in regulation time, and subsequently came up short in the shootout as the hosts won 3-1 to secure the bonus point (a shootout win is considered as a draw in record books) and stormed to the top of the FIH Pro League points table. Both India and Spain have 8 points from 4 games, but the Blueshirts enjoy a better goal average and are perched on the top of the tree.
